Transatlantic is a 2023 Period Drama miniseries by Anna Winger and Daniel Hendler, adapted from the novel The Flight Portfolio by Julie Orringer.The show is set in 1940 Marseille, France, the "last free port" from where those fleeing the Nazis can escape Europe. Two Americans, heiress Mary Jayne Gold (Gillian Jacobs) and journalist Varian Fry (Cory Michael Smith), involved with the Emergency Rescue Committee try to obtain travel visas for the predominantly Jewish refugees in Marseille, but their efforts are hindered by both the neutral American embassy and the Vichy government.A tracker, Lisa Fittko (Deleila Piasko), discovers a lightly guarded footpath to Spain through the Pyrennes. She returns to Marseille with a German Jew, Albert Hirschman (Lucas Englander), to tell Varian and Mary Jayne of the route. The group now plots to save even more people, even as the law begins cracking down on refugees and their finances dwindle.Other actors in the series include Ralph Amoussou as Paul Kandjo, Amit Rahav as Thomas Lovegrove, and Corey Stoll as Graham Patterson.The show was released on April 7, 2023 on Netflix.

comment
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: In the first episode, Varian is asked why he's risking his life to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis, even if it risks his protected status as a journalist in France. He replies that he can't stand to let an injustice happen without doing anything. Hiram Bingham IV is the American vice consul, but disagrees with the American government's neutral stance and helps the ERC forge escape paperwork for the refugees.

Undercover as Lovers: Albert and Mary Jayne pretend to be lovers who "just had oysters" in order to get past some Vichy guards. Their makeout session to prove this makes the guard so uncomfortable he lets them through without issue.

Rich Boredom: Mary Jayne refuses her father's requests to return home because helping refugees escape the Nazis because she knows she'll be stuck as a Midwestern society wife if she goes back, and keeping refugees out of the clutches of the Nazis is a more worthwhile use of her family money.

Smoking Is Glamorous: It's 1940 Europe so everyone smokes, but the British spy Margaux does it while wearing glamorous dresses and using fine cigarette holders, fitting her characterization as a sophisticated spy.

Clothing Switch: In the first episode, Mary Jayne suggests to a Ursula, a refugee, that she can clean herself up and present herself on the boat. In the next scene, Mary Jayne walks out wearing Ursula's dirty dress instead of the fine yellow one she was wearing earlier.
