I didn't notice anything in The Expanse that contradicts the laws of motion, and it is the only fiction TV show I can think of that is careful in that way.

For example, more than once or twice a space ship is shown firing opposite the ship's direction of travel during the second half of the ship's trajectory. And I seem to recall a scene showing a ship (with only one large engine, which of course is the sensible way to do it) doing a flip at the half-way point to point the engine directly opposite to the direction of travel.
