Very Good

At the beginning of each episode it clearly states that the drama is "Inspired by real events," so why do all these history pedants keep making comments about historical inaccuracies. It does not claim to be a factual account.

A brief history of Crown Princess Martha during the war period will show that the drama does in fact cover the essence of the lives of the Norwegian royal family during this period, and it makes for a good drama.

The excellent Sofia Helin leads a strong cast in this classy production. Her imitating FDR was a high spot, as was the real cine film shown at the end of the royal family taken on their return to Norway which had been mirrored exactly in the drama.

The first two episodes covers similar ground to the excellent film The Kings Choice (2016) which is worth watching as well.
