"Silk Stalkings", supposedly set in Palm Beach, was one of the worst
offenders in this regard.  The Town of Palm Beach is a tiny enclave at
the north end of a very small island - a couple of miles long, less
than a mile across in most places.  The only supermarket has valet
parking and there are no poor sections of town.  (The poor people who
work there - like me not too long ago - live on the mainland side of
the bridges in places like West Palm Beach and Lake Worht.)
This whole part of the state is pooltable flat.  The highest point of
elevation within 50 miles is about 30 feet high - a landfill in Ft.
Lauderdale. Yet "Silk Stalkings" always had mountains in the
background, winding hilly roads, and no shortage of run-down
neighborhoods within the jurisdiction of the (surprisingly large) Palm
Beach police department.  ("Criminal Minds" also featured a
surprisingly hilly Palm Beach in one episode.)
