Crossings

1986 · 1 season

A lush, old-fashioned romantic drama that sweeps you up in forbidden love and looming war, with a steady, comforting pace.

Overview: Despite rumors of impending war, the majestic ship Normandie makes its transatlantic voyage from Washington D.C., to France. Aboard is beautiful, American-born Liane De Villiers, devoted to her much-older husband, the French ambassador to the United States, and her two daughters. She meets Nick Burnham, an American steel magnate, a kind man trapped in a loveless marriage. Their passion remains unacknowledged. But when the outbreak of World War II forces Liane to flee Paris, she and Nick meet again–and pledge a love that can no longer be denied.
How it feels: Romantic, melancholic, earnest and tense. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Love, war, betrayal, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
