'Atlantic Crossing' Episode 3 Recap: Happy Days Are Here Again?
When last we saw our royal Norwegian pals, Martha and the kiddos were preparing for their Atlantic crossing to America (hey, that’s the name of the show!) and Olav and King Grandpa were enjoying the indifferent comfort of their hosts, the English royal family.

'Atlantic Crossing' Episode 2 Recap: The British Are Going
Last week, we watched as Norway pretty much fell to the invading Nazis, so it’s probably not a surprise that this episode is starting off… intensely.

Olav finds a discarded armband that he seems to immediately recognize as belonging to his dad, and clearly fears the worst, but so far, so good: King Grandpa is still alive, if shaken. -

I’m here to recap the show as it happens. Our story begins in the lush green hills of the Hudson Valley in 1939. “But wait,” I hear you cry. “This is MASTERPIECE we’re talking about — shouldn’t we be in Derbyshire or something?” Prepare yourselves, friends: we’re not in the proverbial Kansas of the English countryside anymore: we’re in the good old US of A, and we’re making our way across New York state on a train. -

'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D' To 'Atlantic Crossing' — Kyle MacLachlan’s Best Roles
From the supremely goofy to the starry eyed, the self-obsessed to the downright evil, Kyle MacLachlan doesn’t necessarily disappear into his character as much as he brings facets of his own personality to the fore. To paraphrase Walt Whitman, he contains multitudes.
