* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': Like any good chemist, when checking the odor of unknown substances, Henry will use his hand to waft the smell up towards his face, rather than sticking his nose right next to it (which risks chemical burns or poisoning). Henry does this so often it's practically a character tic.

* Besides the fact that ''Series/TheInsideMan'' teaches real strategies about IT security, {{Technobabble}}110 is averted. In the first episode, "The New Guy," everything that Mark says in terms of resolving the hacking attempt on the company is true in technical terms, not withstanding the fact that the problem was caused by him in the first place.

* ''Series/YourHonor'': In Season 2, the only known case where an acquittal had been ruled invalid gets mentioned, when a Chicago gangster was found to have bribed the judge who'd acquitted him. Michael notes this to Carlo, since he did much the same thing in having fixed Carlo's trial. Few people even know of this exception to double jeopardy.

* ''Series/TheLastOfUs2023'' showed exceptional accuracy when portraying Jakarta in Episode 2's ColdOpen that it garner praise from Indonesian viewers. Although the entire scenes were actually filmed in Calgary, Canada, the studio employed actual Indonesian actors speaking in their language with near pitch-perfect accuracy, and had done their research for period accurate props (such as using the old logo of the Ministry of Health, which was only changed in 2016) and even background music (a song by renowned Indonesian artist Ari Lasso that came out in 2003).

** One of the most horrifying aspects of the story is that the Cordyceps fungus acts pretty much as it does in reality, except that rather than insects, it's infesting humans. Even the fact that the fungus is heavily implied to be transmitted through the flour found in baked goods isn't too much of a stretch; certain types of fungi can survive in rice even after it's been boiled.

* ''Series/TheThickOfIt'' displays a very extensive and realistic documentation of the inner workings of the offices of Whitehall, and has many fictional counterparts for real politicians. Politicians themselves have commented on the realism, noting that the only thing unrealistic about it is the show's infamous [[ClusterFBomb amount of profanity]]. In real life, it's [[UpToEleven worse]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/StrangerThings'':
** The show features specific and sometimes obscure aspects of ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 1st Edition'' as well as invents others for narrative purposes.
** A Season 3 episode uses a shopping mall as a plot point. The scene was filmed in the largely-abandoned Gwinnett Place Mall in suburban Atlanta, which actually was built in the mid-80s. Storefronts were retrofitted to period-accurate recreations of popular mall tenants of the day, even some chains that are no longer in existence.
** Scenes set during the night of July 4, 1985 in season 3 frequently include the Moon - which is at the correct phase.

** The showrunners work hard at making sure that the show accurately depicts medical conditions and medical procedures, including a notable aversion of CPRCleanPrettyReliable. [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0QHWhjbe5fGJEPz3sVb6nw Doctor Mike]], a [=YouTuber=] who is also a practicing doctor, praised it as one of the most accurate medical dramas he'd ever seen, saying that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBSfullrLFk "It really felt as if a doctor wrote the script and then it was fluffed up instead of the other way around."]]
** The episode title "Sometimes It's a Zebra" is derived from an old saying impressed on new doctors: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras."[[note]] It means that, when evaluating a patient's symptoms, a doctor should first consider and rule out common illnesses ("horses") before concluding that the patient has a rare syndrome ("zebra").[[/note]]

Ray responds, "Because I loved the wrong person." A lot of viewers might be unfamiliar with what this means, unless they're familiar with details from the Holocaust-a pink triangle was used for LGBT prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. While after they show Ray is with Snart they can infer this, a person aware will get it ahead of time.
