This show feels like an exercise in highlighting the good in an unquestionably dark time, without insensitively skirting around the danger and tragedy of it all. Read full review

Transatlantic takes a serious story and gives it a bit of a bouncy, adventurous edge, thanks to some crisp writing and a fun lead performance by Jacobs. But it still pays reverence to the people who risked everything to help Nazi refugees, as well as the refugees themselves. Read full review

Solid. ... It’s impossible to do justice to radical genius within the constraints of a middlebrow template. For all its technical competence and moral care, Transatlantic falls short of the art and ideas that inspired it. Read full review

It’s lighter on its feet and more generally entertaining than any summary of the subject matter might lead you to expect. But since all you come away from Transatlantic with is a superficial understanding of the subject matter — the tip of the tip of the iceberg and perhaps not even that — it’s easy to feel that’s something, but hard to feel like it’s enough.

As a palatable history lesson, Transatlantic is comprehensive. ... Transatlantic struggles, however, to weave its learning points elegantly into the drama, to show rather than tell. Read full review

The performances are game. ... But the series sacrifices a bit of depth in exchange for accessibility, keeping its famous players at arm’s length and speedrunning through the honorable work the ERC did in real life. Read full review

“Transatlantic” falters because it’s too broad. ... While “Transatlantic” in some ways pays reverence to their contributions, its overly expansive cast and storylines create a lack of intimacy. A more centralized focus on the major players would have made the series more intricate and profound. Read full review

Enchanting and courageous characters, a very engaging storyline and the wonderful blue setting of Marseilles. The result is a miraculous tv series that will definitely make you believe in good human nature against all odds.

Terrible casting and writing. This is like having Tik Tok stars reenact WW2 themed scenes. It's supposed to be a period piece so when everyone sounds like they graduated Highschool in 2020 the whole vibe is just off. Waste of alot of money and a good premise.

Critics call this show "accessible", what a nice euphemism for "dumb enough for average 'Murican". Stoopid WW2 porn. Morbid fascination for Nazis. Netflix. Enough said.
