It's based on the Kathy Reichs novels and she's a producer for the show. Reichs IS a forensic anthropologist and high level academic and actually her attention to detail is why I'm not a big fan of her novels. I REALLY don't need that much autopsy information in a book. Ack!
So, while there have been bits of the science that have made MG and I roll our eyes a bit it tends to be more the moments where they show you things like computer graphic projections that aren't quite available to that level yet rather than getting the hard science wrong and the charm and camaraderie of the nerds who are proud of their nerdery and refuse to be cowed carries it along.
I'll cheerfully admit that I loathe Fringe and had to give up watching it despite liking Walter and as far as Eleventh Hour goes I just watched it for the pretty... oh the pretty. :D
