Often times in TV shows and movies defibrillator is used when someone has a slow or no pulse but isn’t that wrong? Could some explain what the purpose of defibrillator is used for? And do shows and movie even do research before shooting the scene?

To give the heart the right impulse and boost to manage to beat properly on its own. With absolutely NO pulse a defibrillator won’t work.
