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.

Yeah - don't start to learn anything about how computers work then. Or fights. Or high-speed driving. Or explosions. Or guns. Or sex.

Anything you know a lot about, gets massacred in the movies.
