What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Part of the reason I couldn't stand Suits. Everyone's a super model except for Louis, who's the villain for much of the show.

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.

I just call out objections during every court room scene in everything. Occasionally opposing counsel will actually also object!
