Atlantic Crossing (2020)
Historically Ludicrous But Entertaining
This is a fun, diverting show. Just don't think about it too much. Picture a bizzarro FDR who spent most of his time on a platonic crush on a minor European Royal while overseeing a world war as his health failed. If you can suspend belief that much, you will have a great time. The King's Choice is an excellent movie that covers the same ground, if you are interested.
The Split (2018)
Turgid Soap Opera
The Split is well made and well acted. That said, it's just one more slow-going Soap Opera. Almost all the cliches of the genre are at play here. The story goes every place you think it will. One problem is that Nicola Walker is simply too old for the role she plays. She looks much more like a mother than a sister, especially for the youngest sister. They must be 20 or 25 years different in ages. If you like familiar soap operas, by all means tune in.
