It only took a little googling to learn about fibrillation, cardiac arrest, and how CPR is only temporary. Other than screaming “Live, damn you!” And slamming fists on the patients chest whilst the camera zooms dramatically, (eye roll) what do the professionals really do? Is a flatline just game over? Or is fibrillation much more common than flatline?

Slamming a fist on someone’s chest when their heart has stopped is an actual medical procedure. It’s called a pericardial thump.
