I've sat through the first 4-5 episodes of this series (Netflix via Roku) & have been disapointed at the very superficial treatment of the technical aspects. I saw nothing on what must have been intensive CW & crypto training, code books, etc. Repairing their radio sets was shown as unscrewing a fastener on monster hulking desktop sets rather than the clandestine sets they would use in the field, with no initial testing or diagnosis of the undefined problem. The few shots of the actual suitcase sets were from the side & showed no detail. They have an impressive collection of these at the Imperial War Museum in London & Duxford that likely could have been made available on loan to the producers.
