Many of the scenes are shot with anamorphic lenses producing wide-screen shots. However, this is totally ruined by the fact that the wide screen shots are letter-boxed into a narrower aspect ratio. Why shoot with an anamorphic lens if you're just going to letterbox it later? That is totally absurd. Better would have been to release the series in 2.38:1 or 2.4:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio and letterbox the clips from narrower aspect ratio. Those clips have lower resolution anyway, so don't suffer from letterboxing.
Instead, what we have is narrow aspect ratio clips occupying the full height of the screen with poor resolution, so we see a blurry picture. Then, when we see wide scenes with more modern equipment, it is letterboxed top and bottom, and if viewing on a widescreen device, also right and left. So both original low res clips and new higher res. Clips are shown in low res.
Either they should have shot all scenes in 6:9 or they should have produced a final product in wide-screen.
Unfortunately, the aspect ratio changes so frequently, the switch is very distracting.
