Atlantic Crossing

Matt Roush Says...

Norwegian Crown Princess Märtha (Sofia Helin) and her children actually cross the Atlantic in this episode as they head towards the safe haven of America. The sight of the Statue of Liberty as they approach the New York harbor is enough to make anyone misty eyed. As they settle in, they find they have to get used to the personal attention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Kyle MacLachlan), who seems to be more interested in flirting with Märtha than with running his re-election campaign. Over at Buckingham Palace, Crown Prince Olav (Tobias Santelmann) struggles with the futility of being a government in exile, and starts to consider how Märtha’s position could be used to help Norway.
