The problem with a show like this is that either it has no authentic technical advisors, or it desperately needs to fire the ones it has. In the '80s you could have a show like "Whiz Kids" where a teenager sits in his bedroom and rat-a-tats on a keyboard and stops a missile from launching. In those days nobody questioned it. But if a series in 2014 is going to open an episode with a title card indicating it is based on true events, then it needs to have a solid footing in reality.
I didn't dislike the series, but the stereotypes need to become full-fledged characters quickly or I'll lose interest.
