With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR's domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal weekend an unforgettable one. Seen through the eyes of Daisy (Laura Linney), Franklin's distant cousin, neighbor, and intimate, the weekend will produce not only a special relationship between two great nations, but, for Daisy – and through her, for us all – a deeper understanding of the mysteries of love and friendship.

I liked this a lot more than I expected to. Didn't care for the Laura Linney character and her voiceovers. Everything else was not a bad show.

Murray was really good. And the King and Queen and the rest of the cast was really good. Even Linney did a good job with her character.
