Motherland: Fort Salem (2020)
Flawed basic premise
If, as the theme suggests, the witched were spared on condition they fought for the government.
Howwever, whan that was supposed to happen, there was no 'United States' and the 'government' was in London. By their promise they would have fought AGAINST Washington and the Continental Army
Lancaster Skies (2019)
A bit of research can be a good thing - if it's actually done
Fighter pilots didn't transfer to a bomber squadron - they weren't trained on multi-engined aircraft.
RAF personnel NEVER saluted if they were bare-headed.
Shirts with attached collars weren't issued until 1963 (trust me on that - I've still painful memories of trying to find collar studs when an 'alert' went off).
Officers didn't eat in the sergeants' mess (and vice versa). There was an 'aircrew mess' but that was only used just prior and just after a raid by the aircrews. (returning aircrew got a fried egg which was a very rare wartime treat).
Titanic: Blood and Steel (2012)
Poor research
Historically this is completely inaccurate - James Larkin organised the Irish Transport and General Workers Union not the 'Dock Workers (also he didn't have a beard). Belfast was organised by James Connolly.
The scenery is completely wrong and bears no resemblance to anywhere in Belfast - it's pure Dublin/County Wicklow. I do know what the general area around Harland and Wolff looked like in the 1950s (and it was much the same as in 1912) and it bore no resemblance at all to that shown.
The working class housing was completely unlike that shown - all they had to do was go to the Folk Museum and film in a reconstructed street of the period - it's there.
The accents are mostly incorrect, the RIC uniforms are wrong, both in colour and general appearance.
Whoever did the 'research' was obviously unconcerned with anything like accuracy
