Funniest part is that the tagline and theme of the show was “what is the cost of lies?” despite itself taking ridiculous liberties with the truth. Just off the top of my head there was:
* the “bridge of death” scene that never happened
* irradiated firefighters portrayed as themselves being radioactive
* military dude threatening to throw a member of the academy of the sciences out of a helicopter for trivial/arbitrary reasons
I remember there being other notable ones when briefly looking into it after watching it a couple years back.

Just off the top of my head there was: It's worth noting that show was not a work of nonfiction. In fiction, when the needs of drama and factual accuracy collide, drama usually wins, and there's nothing wrong with that.
- colechristensen 5y agoThere is when the drama comes from lying about how the world works and dressing up your show just like reality. Most people who watch something like that without foreknowledge of the truth of the situation are going to believe the drama is real.
- ako 5y agoThe problem with fictional drama is that it does frame how people perceive the world.
