Atlantic Crossing

I just watched Episode 6 of Atlantic Crossing. It has gotten worse each week.

This takes "inspired by true events" to a level of fantasy that is beyond ridiculous. I am now finding it truly appalling. I feel like I am watching a bad Hallmark TV movie, but this disaster wants to style itself as somehow based on facts when it is preposterous.

Really, who at Masterpiece thought THIS was a good idea? It cheapens WWII and FDR into a dime store romance novel and is an insult to anyone who actually learned about the Roosevelts by watching Ken Burns' true masterpiece documentary, "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History", also on PBS.

I would say it is almost funny in its absurd depiction of FDR, Eleanor and Missy LeHand - but I found it stupid, offensive and bordering on the bizarre.

I'm done with this drivel. Just makes me wonder why Masterpiece and WGBH had anything to do with this disappointing fiasco.
