I lived in the DC area in the early 1980s and had several friends who worked in the intelligence community. The show “gets” that era - the fashion, the technology, the entire “look and feel” of that period. Most, but not all, of the story lines are based in reality. For example, in a recent episode it was said that the U.S. program to plant fake blueprints for high-tech parts for the Soviets to steal resulted in the deaths of 160 Russian submariners. While the program was real, and caused the Soviets to waste billions of rubles, I never heard at the time or read subsequently that the program caused a submarine accident.

We also arranged for the ruskies to purchase sabotaged pipeline and oil drilling parts.
