Best TV-series in this universe (thrillers, comedies)

Movies based on reality and real events. It gets a somewhat tricky to decide what to include as movies pretty often diverge quite a bit from real events. I deemed these to be true enough to be included: 
* Lord of War, based on several real characters
* Medicine Man, loosely based on Richard Evans Schultes
* Sunshine, based on two real characters
* The Bank Job, based on reality, but also quite a lot of speculation
* Zero Dark Thirty, claims to be based on true accounts


But found that these where primarily made up: 
* Casanova, great movie, but very loosely based on the 18th century autobiography
* Harrison's Flower, based on a real war and events, but fictional characters
* Fargo, completely fabricated story despite the claim in the movie
* The Gladiator, loosely on some real characters, while other are invented
* Rendition, story has similarities to true cases
* Braveheart, loosely based on real characters, but mostly made up in Hollywood
* Titanic, well, the ship did sink...
