Fiona H @Fifi72 Dec 28 Wonderful! Rich in light and creativity it was a visual delight. Costumes, music and scenery kept me engaged. Fabulous acting by a diverse and talented cast. I didn't want to say goodbye to any of the characters. I also had no idea about Varian Fry and the rescue committee. There wasn''t an ending I had been hoping for but I guess that's the awful reality of war.

Took me a couple of episodes to realize that I used to watch Gillian Jacobs regularly in Community, during my college years, over a decade ago! She looks the same :) I watched this show with my mom because I only had 2 weeks at home and we wanted a mini-series we'll be able to finish and both enjoy. I had no expectations going into it but absolutely loved it! This show is the epitome of a dramatized reality / docuseries. It covers a tough but important topic, keeps a fast pace, has an old vibe to it, but is also filled with a lot of fun moments. There's no so much character development, but the balance of the different characters and how they fill different roles is done very well. In particular, I loved the moments when famous authors like Marc Chagall make an appearance and fill that "artist void". The whole series is very enticing, but ultimately, it's a buildup to the last episode. The last episode is a combination of love and hate, sadness and victory, trauma and healing, truth and lies. It's life. It's reality. It's a masterpiece. See more Torin F @nonlinearize 10/27/2024 TRANSATLANTIC is a limited series historical drama committed to a certain visual and period fidelity that is immediately engaging, as is the overall fact-based story. The series begins to drag a bit, however, as individual character motivations get lost amidst the hand-wringing and visa-chasing, and the narrative is spread a little thin over seven episodes. The diverse cast is generally quite good, but Gillian Jacobs seems imperfectly suited to a dramatic role here. The series is enjoyable and occasionally insightful, while leaving something to be desired and lacking the sustained wartime urgency it seems to be aiming for.

Insulting.
