I'm a computer guy, and every time I watch a show that has anything to do with computers I'm always complaining that the writers are full of 💩 💔 (That's not even a real IP address!).
I assume that cops, lawyers, and doctors are the same about cop, lawyer, and doctor shows respectively.

My question is, are there any shows that depict procedure faithfully?

For example, I've watched The Expanse, and I suspect that they run all of the physics by an expert to make the show more realistic.

I think that specifying the threshold of faithfulness that you desire (e.g. Expanse -- ignoring its declared departures from our physics -- has the "Roci running silent" sequence that is unrealistic at least in timescales) might net you very different answers.

There are various semi-historical or semi-documentary series that might fit your bill. From The Earth To The Moon is one such (the faithfulness complaints I had about it were minor and not about realism, but about faithful reproduction of actual space hardware[1]). I haven't watched more than excerpts of Masters of the Air, but ones I've seen suggest that it's realistic.
