I generally don't care if they don't do legal stuff differently, unless they could have gotten it right without sacrificing something else important to the film.
OK, it's literary, but Anthony Trollope used a nice workaround for that once. In an earlier novel, he explained how the hero inherited the land that allowed him to be wealthy enough to support the woman he loved -- and he got the law wrong, even though he'd consulted lawyers beforehand.
So the next time he got into that situation (one doesn't read Trollope for the wide variety of plots), he explained -- and then added something to the effect of, "At least, that's how it was explained to me. Maybe I got it wrong. But I do know that Hero inherited."
Rocky beaches and cliffs in Florida.
I don't watch CSI Miami so I have no idea how accurate that show is or if they've ever filmed in Central or North Florida but the other thing is getting the land wrong. Florida is a fairly diverse state and North/Central FL does not look like South Florida.
The other thing is characters that work at computers but the actors are obviously randomly pressing keys. Especially if they stay on the home row for the entire time they type.
not a peeve, but how did "blind murder witness" become a trope? there's a new one coming out and I swear I've seen a ton. kinda freaky, huh?
I think a movie that was really about adoption would be like "The Wire"
I have to say I adore Indiana Jones, despite the fact that as a former archaeologist I never wore a fedora, used a whip, or BROKE as many damned things as he does.
I hate the rich men wear ascots trope.
I hate the rish men wear ascots trope.
Bwah-Ha-Ha-- although it is kinda a great shorthand when working with high school actors, for some reason.
I once dated someone who wore an ascot.
I went to college with a guy who occasionally wore and ascot. And yes, he was rich, but even the other rich kids thought he was OTT.

Any of these guys solve mysteries? Drive around in a weirdly-colored van? Been describes as a "meddling kid"?
Not sure of my guy's exact finances, but since I met him at his sister’s wedding in the Royal Chapel in the Seville Cathedral and his family had a box in the Real Madrid stadium, I’m going to go with rich.
ETA: He did not solve mysteries. The only mystery was why the f*ck I thought dating a guy who wore an ascot would be a good thing.
