    Beautifully produced and such a fascinating story

    My Review- Atlantic Crossing. SBS on demand My Rating 9/10

    This splendid 8 part series is a fascinating account of Norway's World War 11 experience and sacrifice . It's a very touching and personal look at the role that the Norwegian Royal family played in that dramatic and terrible chapter of history.

    The eight part series was co-produced by the Norwegian independent production company Cinenord, Norway's public broadcaster NRK and the US Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Most of the scenes were filmed in the Czech Republic, and in Norway.

    The series pays special attention to interactions between Crown Princess Martha of Norway and President Franklin Roosevelt during the period when Martha was a war refugee in the United States after fleeing the 1940 Nazi Invasion of Norway.

    A princess steals the heart of the president of the United States in an epic drama based on the World War II relationship of Franklin Roosevelt and Norwegian Crown Princess Martha. Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Sex and the City) stars as Roosevelt, opposite Swedish star Sofia Helin (The Bridge) as the beautiful Martha, who flees the Nazis with her three young children and lives under Roosevelt's protection. The eight-part series co-stars Tobias Santelmann as Crown Prince Olav and Harriet Sansom Harris as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.

    There are many fine performances in Atlantic Crossing especially the Star Sofia Helin who gives a beautiful and dignified performance as Crown Princess Martha the film is in 2 languages Norwegian with subtitles and English this adds to the atmosphere of authenticity .

    Two other standout performances that impressed me greatly were from Kyle MacLaclan as President FD Roosevelt a very complex man who reluctantly but eventually had to involve America in the War against huge opposition.

    His wife in name only and protector Eleanore played to perfection by Harriet Sanson Harris has a key role in the film .

    An incredibly strong and independent woman with power and influence eventually realises The Crown Princess is as strong willed as herself and helps her greatly in her quest to help her country under siege from Hitler's tyranny.

    Atlantic Crossing is a perfect companion prequel to the superb 2016 Award winning film Kongens Nei or "The Kings Choice ."starring Jesper Christensen as King Haakon V11 of Norway . It's set in April 1940 King Haakon VII, the royal family and government have fled into the interior of the country. The German envoy to Norway, Curt Brauer, tries to negotiate a peace. Ultimately, the decision on Norway's future will rest with the King.

    Both these historical films are interesting and I highly recommend both.

    World War II retold for women who love Downton Abbey and love stories

    I've read that Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth have little to do with the actual historical characters and events on which they are based. Still, I've never met anyone who cared about that in deciding whether they liked those plays.

    The same approach should probably be taken to this series, which plays fast and loose with World War II history. But that's hard to do, because we're so much closer to the real events that this series rewrites than Shakespeare's audience was to minor figures in Medieval Scottish and Danish history. (Did they know anything about those fields at all?) It was very hard for me to sit through the depiction of the female lead, the Crown Princess of Norway, inspiring Lend-Lease, for example. I can imagine that Swedes don't particularly enjoy seeing their former king portrayed as a Nazi sympathizer. But if you don't know anything about World War II history, then I guess that wouldn't bother you. Just as I am not bothered, in reading Hamlet, by the discrepancies between the play and Medieval Danish history.

    What we are left with is imitation Downton Abbey - lots of nice-looking aristocracy and their homes, not too much concern with unglamorous commoners.

    Also a story to inspire timid women: a timid young princess - think Princess Diana - comes into her own and eventually grows a backbone. She even helps to save Western civilization. A story lots of timid women could relate to.

    If you're a World War II history buff, or a guy, or a woman who does not need fantasy history to feel inspired to develop her potential, this will probably seem like a long-winded costume drama, which is what it actually is.

    But if you're part of the intended audience, you might enjoy it. And so long as you don't mistake what happens for history, I don't know that there is any harm in that. George Washington didn't chop down that cherry tree, after all, yet Parson Weams' tale of how he did but then did not lie about it provided moral courage to countless young Americans of a previous era. If this series helps timid women develop moral strength, that wouldn't be a bad thing.

    ------------------------------------

    I just watched Episode 6. When FDR, having learned of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, goes first to see the Crown Princess to find courage to deliver an address - what becomes the *A day that shall live in infamy* address to the joint houses of Congress - I almost puked. The rest was pretty much the same thing. FDR turns out to be a lover who finds strength and inspiration in an initially timid Norwegian princess. It's sort of like bad old-fashioned Disney applied to World War II history. Bad imitation old-fashioned Disney.

    Well worth a watch, but look up the real story

    As many have noticed, this story takes the "inspired by true events" a bit too far on occasions. But still I recommend watching it as it gives another side of the grim events more than 70 years ago. I find the acting credible and good but as said.. the historical correctness is highly questionable.

    I say 'so what' to the naysayers.

    Beautifully filmed. Historical movies try to cram 5-10 years into a 90-minute movie. They are all sensationalized. Many historical books are filled with icing covering half-baked cakes. How many people take the Bible at it's word? Humbug. This Masterpiece depiction at least gave six hours to the story instead of a measly ninety minutes. Of course there are likely to be some mischaracterizations and misrepresentations. After all, no one knows the entire truth of the story. Just as there is a zero percent chance that the Bible story is true to fact. It ain't.

    I say humbug to the historical snobs. Folks will gain a far better knowledge of the Princess's story than they would by watching any stupid reality show on TV. Get over yourselves and give Masterpiece their due for a lovely production. And to all who watch this story, if you have further interest in learning some more of the truth of the story, along with what I'm sure will be more icing covering a half-baked cake, do some further reading and studying.

    Thorougly enjoyable

    Atlantic Crossing is not a documentary and should not be viewed as such. Nevertheless I was drawn into the drama of the exiled Norwegian Crown Prince and Princess, a family that were separated during the Second World War, due to duty and circumstances. Whilst living in seperate host countries and having absolutely no political influence and power, the drama portrays how the prince and princess, in very different ways, did everything they could to contribute to the war effort. The ultimate cost of their efforts placing an enormous strain on the royal marriage. Atlantic Crossing is well worth watching, but perhaps for a more mature audience.

      Sets and scenery of the countryside and of interior and exterior of the house are conspicuously Mid-European, looking nothing at all like rural or suburban Virginia in the 1940s.
