Reilly, Ace of Spies: More espionage, Less Blood.

Set in pre and post WWI Europe, based on real events, not sure how accurate.

I do know there was a lot of Industrial espionage being done, and joking for influence with the emerging Communist Russia and how to keep them under control.

The first few years after WWI was the first cold war, just the public did not know it.
Russia thought they would spread there revolution all over the world.
Germany was in economic shambles while playing in a prestige game on the sea with subsidized Luxury Liners built by Bhon and Voss Ship yards. ( Even went so far as to hire a English interior design firm. Same firm doing the ships of Cunnard.)

A Vintage Spy series, well done, interesting, very intricate, do watch closely.

Yes, the series is available on DVD. If you like the Golden Era, you should love this. Think classy James Bond set in pre-WWI era. Also, inspiration for Ian Fleming.....
