Transatlantic: A Tale of Rescue and Surrealism in Nazi-Occupied France
TL;DR
Netflix's Transatlantic, adapted by Anna Winger from Julie Orringer's novel, tells the story of Varian Fry and Mary Jayne Gold, who helped the European Rescue Committee smuggle more than 2,000 Jewish refugees out of France during World War II. The series focuses on a period where they were able to save a few hundred. Despite the pared-down operation, Transatlantic is an effective, crowd-pleasing thriller with strong performances by Cory Michael Smith, Gillian Jacobs, and Lucas Englander.
