Oh, Fringe. I know you are supposedly set in Boston, but I also know you're not filmed here. Mostly it doesn't jump out at me - although so far, South Station, BC, and Harvard shots have all been pretty obviously wrong - but I don't know if that's because they're doing a good job or a lot of the investigations are set in outer suburbs that I don't know very well. Mostly, though, your geography seems plausible. I'm not sure if an FBI agent would live in Brighton, but that building looked likely for the area, at least - and so on.
However, a serial killer who has made four kills in "Lowell and Jamaica Plain"? Yes, because when I want neighborhoods that are near each other, that's what I think of. And a slaughterhouse in Beacon Hill? Somehow, I find that a trifle unlikely.
ETA: Apparently it was in Roxbury, but called Beacon Hill Meat. I'll let it slide, but I've got my eye on you, Fringe.
ETA2: Oh god. A group of MIT animal rights activists who live-off campus in a house full of red cups and bongs with a yard, own a car and visit an late-night fast-food place near campus? I don't even know where to start. Other than everything in that sentence is wrong. And there are plenty of on-campus labs that have research animals.
