Nitti-gritty 

1: Da minuscule-but-abrasively-hurtful details dat Elliot Ness had to deal with in regards to Al Capone's right-hand-man henchman.
2. Da unpalatable and irritatingly-picky details regarding actual history of whether said smug sleazeball actually performed many of da entertainingly-memorable felonious actions portrayed in da 1987 "The Untouchables" film.
Da wildly-popular "war on liquor" gangster-drama starring Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro may indeed have been exciting and dramatic for its viewers, but if you get right down to da Nitti-gritty of it, da infamous "goon in a white suit" character played by Billy Drago apparently never personally performed hitman-style assassinations as depicted in said movie, nor was he actively involved in much if any actual killing, either.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
