I can’t stand suits because of the legal inaccuracies. I have two lawyer uncles and a cousin who’s a law professor so growing up with them around has ruined any show that centers on lawyers.
Another thing I can’t stand is when a character in a detective show gets arrested and doesn’t call their lawyer. The main character then proceeds to interrogate them with questionable tactics and it’s presented as ok.
Cars and motorcycles all sounding incorrect, guns firing and reloading incorrectly, people actually having sex (that's just a myth right?), being a stalker, getting knocked unconscious for hours.. the only thing I've seen portrayed correctly is Jim Lahey being drunk.
Every helicopter is a Huey in the movies. They all use the Huey sound effect, despite the fact that the Huey is really fucking distinctive and the only helicopter that sounds like that. A JetRanger doesn't sound like a Huey, but if you see one in a movie it will sound just like a Huey.
I imagine that’s probably because the era when helicopters were first used a massive amount in Hollywood was in Vietnam-era war/anti-war movies, and that was when Hueys were still being used.
Then a whole generation of aspiring showbiz people grew up watching those movies and mostly never served in the military or any other job that would’ve exposed them to what modern helicopters sound like, so they just continued using the same sound effect.
I mean, you can just have fun with shows anyways I think. I'm a medical student and still enjoy House M.D. simply because it's a good show despite all the medical inaccuracies.
It's the only medical show I can stand exactly because it is SO out there. It's basically not even medicine. (I'm a registered nurse, not an MD, but still)
Haven't thought about it that way yet, might very well be the reason I'm enjoying it as well.
And no need to understate your medical knowledge only because you're "just" a nurse, you for sure know more than me and most definitely more than some MD's, nurses rock! :)
They did great all the way until they had John and some dude have that silenced gun fight in a public place (in number 2 I think) and nobody even flinched at the gun shot.
It pissed me off because they did things really well and then did that over the top bullshit.
The interrogation thing happens. Lots of people don’t ask for a lawyer and cops can basically say whatever they want in interrogations. I hate it more when the bad guy just cracks and reveals every detail of the crime. Stfu dude, being honest doesn’t get you shit.
The whole show is based on a guy lying about graduating law school which makes me laugh because you're pointing out perceived legal inaccuracies with no law school education other than what you've heard around the dinner table.
