Atlantic Crossing |
Hei! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 18!
Tonight's Top Pick is the (surprisingly) impressive Atlantic Crossing. The period drama tells the story of Norway's royal family during World War II, which despite the country's neutrality was invaded by Germany and put the royal family on the run. The crown princess and kids seek refuge in America courtesy FDR (Kyle MacLachlan). This is a Norwegian import. When in Norway, prepare for subtitles (unless you understand Norwegian).
Elsewhere, Kate Winslet is a detective, Zoey has an incredible girls night, The People v. The Klan rests, Lisa Simpsons gets a new friend, Batwoman searches for False Face, Walgreens wants you to get microchipped, Food Network crowns another Champion, A&E goes WWE, Godfather of Harlem returns, and Dr. Guralnik is back for Therapy.
