This started off with the potential of being very interesting. The role of Norway in WWII and it's resistance. Now it just a silly drama about a potential affair/non affair with FDR. I will still watch but the last two episodes, I find myself flipping to other stations.
Wonderful series- about Martha finding her voice and power. But also about her enduring romance with her husband which bus severely tested by her relationship with FDR and years of separation due to war. The most distasteful part of this series is the portrayal of her “romantic” relationship with FDR., he comes off extremely creepy.
The ATLANTIC CROSSING PBS series' producers depiction of the "warship" presented to Norway on September 16th 1942 appears on the PBS screen to be a Gleaves or Benson Class Destroyer plus the word "destroyer" is used contextually in the play as being synonymous with "warship." What actually became the HNoMS King Haakon VIII [per NavSource records] was actually the 173 foot US Navy Patrol Craft PC-467; a "warship" of much smaller size and proportion than any of the destroyer craft given to other navies during WWII. This blatant and unnecessary exaggeration of reality by the series' producers calls into question the many other verbal and visual assertions promoted as being fact in the play.
Husband and I are enjoying this series together. We recommend it. Learning about a WW II figure we knew nothing about.
I have grown to really like this show! She is a great actress!
Am enjoying this series, and would recommend it to all.

To bad "The Masterpiece" will never tell a true story about Rudolph Hess......
