Atlantic Crossing Recaps

In the finale of Atlantic Crossing, Märtha bids an emotional farewell to Roosevelt. Now Europe is at peace, she and Olav must broker their own reconciliation as they begin life in a new Norway.

In the penultimate episode of Atlantic Crossing, Märtha has to choose between Roosevelt and Olav, neither of whom behaves with much integrity, love, or common sense, and now has the threat of Olav taking her children. But she is respected and supported by Olav’s father the King, Eleanor Roosevelt, and her companion Ragni. Meanwhile, Roosevelt’s health deteriorates.

As Atlantic Crossing continues, the attack on Pearl Harbor brings the U.S. into the war, and drama and intrigue surround Märtha. Her relationship with Roosevelt makes her a target for enemy espionage and threatens her marriage, and a failed kidnap attempt reveals both a traitor in her circle and her increasing vulnerability.

In this episode of Atlantic Crossing, Märtha makes an unexpected alliance with Eleanor Roosevelt and learns to make her voice heard as she prepares to tour American-Norwegian communities in support of aid. But her relationship with President Roosevelt takes a sudden and troubling turn.

Europe is on fire. Save my country.

As Atlantic Crossing continues, President Roosevelt faces a tough election, while Crown Princess Märtha takes power and acts as Norway's advocate to argue for military support.

In the third episode of Atlantic Crossing, Märtha thinks she’s found a safe haven in the U.S., but discovers that not everyone in the White House is her friend or even a reliable ally. Meanwhile, Olav, surrounded by obstruction from his own family, his Cabinet, and his British hosts, realizes that if Britain falls, it’s the end of Norway.

"Isn’t it more important for a country to keep its soul than to keep the peace?" Crown Princess Märtha asks in the second episode of Atlantic Crossing. As her husband Olav and his father the King of Norway take refuge in England, she finds that Sweden is by no means safe for her and the children. And there's only one nation that offers her sanctuary.

Atlantic Crossing is off to a great start, with an episode that features lots of tension and drama; beautiful cinematography and fine acting; and scenes full of emotion and terror.
