Pretty much everything. TV and movies either downplay or over-highlight reality. Plus, smell plays a huge role in experiences, and there's no way to replicate that without the experience.
A small plane crashed on our farm when I was a kid. After they cleaned it up, I went up to see the site - there were still brains scattered around, and the smell of brains is still unforgettable 55 years later.
Pictures of the "old west" and the civil war can't convey the horrendous odors of blood, gore, human sweat and filth, and particularly the smell of horse manure and urine - everywhere.
Hunting shows don't show the butchering process - bleeding, field dressing, quartering, etc. There's a lot of things we take for granted that involve nasty smells and work.
