7/10
Interesting story from WW II
3 July 2021
This is a series created for Norwegian Television but adopted by Masterpiece Theatre to be brought to America. It tells an interesting piece of history and it is worth the watch just for that. I am not a fan of Kyle MacLachlan so that may have flavoured how I was off put by the relationship between FDR and the Crown Princess. What really spoke to me was the journey from helplessness to heroine of the protagonist and I think it will resonate especially with women who will understand her struggles more personally than men might. It wasn't a binge watch for me, it was a little too slow and heavy but I do recommend it to anyone who loves historical retelling of WW Ii stories. I give this series a 7 (good) out of 10 {Historical Drama}
