"Atlantic Crossing" on PBS

Where online did you watch all the episodes?

I received an e-mail from PBS with a discussion of the program, basically what was true, and what was fiction. I had no idea the King of Sweden would write to Hitler, to ease the passage of the Princess, perhaps that was fiction. When I visited Denmark, Norway did visit the WWII memorials and wanted to get more information on the soprano Kirsten Flagstad's husband dealings with the traitor Vidkum Quisling during the war.

I like it so far, have watched the first two episodes. Want to know where to watch the rest online because I've checked all of my usual sites and they don't have it.

My maternal grandparents lived in Norway during the Nazi occupation, so I'm enjoying the series so far. I'm not big on subtitles stuff but I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying it.

R3 You can watch the whole series on Amazon Prime if you have the PBS subscription (I'm using the free 30 day trial they offer).

R2 King Gustav of Sweden was sympathetic to the Nazis prior to the war but his motivations were more motivated by keeping Sweden unoccupied and the survival of the Norwegian monarchy. BTW Gustav was gay and had numerous affairs with men over his life time, and later in his life was blackmailed by a young footman who worked in the palace...this was alluded to in episode 2 when the young butler gives the King a very long and suggestive look which the King takes as his signal that it's time for bed.

Great series, I am loving Harriet Sansom Harris as Eleanor.

The day has just begun. Get to work

"his motivations were more motivated"

Oh, dear!

Song for R7

Kyle M. is doing a much better job of playing FDR than I ever thought he would.

This is a part of history that for some reason most people don't know about. You would think the Crown Princess of Norway being so close to the President during the entire war would be much more well-known than it is.

R5 This is actually her third time playing Eleanor Roosevelt. She played her on stage, then in Ryan Murphy's Hollywood, and now Atlantic Crossing.

I have to admit, I think the guy playing Crown Prince Olav is damn hot.

Watching this it's kind of shocking how little the "America First" mentality hasn't changed in 80 years. It truly is an embarrassment that it took Pearl Harbour for us to enter the war. Britain would have fallen eventually and with it, the whole empire which included Canada. We would have been surrounded.

I continue watching and each episode I find as boring as the last. The Crown Prince is the reason I continue watching.

interesting because The Crown Princess was no raving beauty. She was very tall, and had a hawk-like nose. She must have had a lot of charm to compensate.
