* RaceForYourLove: In the final episode, Albert has to race to Mary Jayne before she flies out of Marseille. Though they affirm their mutual love for each other, they decide that they cannot be together.
* RichBoredom: 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.

* TruthInTelevision: A common myth about the Résistance in France's mainland is to think its groups were coordinated between them and with the Allies, heavily equipped and doing guerilla warfare since the beginning of the Occupation. This representation comes from the year 1944. [[note:] Although it is true sooner in the war for the Résistance in colonies and some mainland's islands[[/note]]. But ''Transatlantic'' is closer to how the French Résistance actually was during the early years of the war: isolated groups with few contacts between them, no contacts with foreign Armies except when the British intelligence contacted them first, few weapons and so leading even fewer armed actions, and mainly doing non-violent actions — in that case exfiltrations.

* LaResistance: From the historical and real TropeNamer, no less. The entire plot revolve around a group of Résistants who exfiltrates Jews, prisoners and political opponents from Nazi Germany and Vichy France.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Fry, Gold, Hirschman, and Fittko were all real people who smuggled refugees out of Marseille. The show also features some of the people they saved, such as Creator/MaxErnst.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: 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.

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 (Creator/GillianJacobs) and journalist Varian Fry (Creator/CoryMichaelSmith), involved with the Emergency Rescue Committee try to obtain travel visas for refugees in Marseille, but their efforts are hindered by both the neutral American embassy and the Vichy government.

A tracker, Lisa Fittko (Creator/DeleilaPiasko) discovers a footpath to France through the Pyrennes. She returns to Marseille with a German Jew, Albert Hirschman (Creator/LucasEnglander) to tell Varian and Mary Jayne of the route. The group now plots to save even more people, even as the law tightens and their finances dwindle.
