THE OFFER is based on Oscar-winning producer Albert S. Ruddy's extraordinary, never-revealed experiences of making "The Godfather."


Seems interesting, lot of good actors in there.

There was also supposed to actually be a movie version of this as well. Not sure if this replaced that or if that's still happening.

Well I'm halfway through the first episode and I'm really enjoying it. I've been thoroughly engaged and unless it goes off a cliff soon, I'm not sure I get the hate from that review above.

Maybe for people who aren't fans of movies and Hollywood in general I guess.

On episode 2. I like it so far.

Also, we're up to 4 BoB alumni in it so far.

Going to finally give it a go today.

I'm at 5 from Band of Brothers including Colin Hanks. I couldn't take the two FBI agents seriously at the beginning of episode 2 for that reason.

Finished the pilot. It was a bit of a mess and definitely campy but I too am somewhat confused by that review (though they probably watched the entire series). It's good enough to give it a shot for a few more eps for sure.

Yea, I forgot about Hanks. Joe Toy and Leibgott as partners had me cracking up.

I feel like the campiness is very much intentional, as well as all the winks to fans of the movie. But it's no more campy than Winning Time, which has gotten good reviews as far as I can tell.

All I know is I'll fully onboard after three episodes and looking forward to the next episode.

This show seems awesome so far but I really loved the first two godfather movies.
Bunk Moreland
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah so far I do not understand that review at all. This show is easily watchable at worst, and very good/fun at best.

I'm loving this show, again just proof that the vast majority of "critics" should be ignored.

Of, and I HATE the weekly rollout format that streaming networks are going back to.

You know, I've been thinking about starting a thread to gauge what the E-board's opinion is on this now that we've had time to "open Pandora's box" with full season releases but suddenly networks are reversing course.

It's really a matter of taste, but I'm not a huge fan of binging because you just don't retain as much information. Plus you can't discuss each episode and theorize online since some people just watch a whole season on day 1. (See Stranger Things thread.)

Absolutely love this show. Incredibly well done. Wonder how much truth there is to this.

Such a great show. Today felt very much like a finale, but I think there's an episode 10. I rewatched some of The Godfather today, Caan is definitely using stage fighting in the scene where he beats up Carlo, so that little detail seems to be dramatized. Whether it's true or not about the mafia muscle, the Luca Brazi character is awesome now

Episode 9 was incredible. I love the way they shoot a scene with a nod to the style of The Godfather. And yeah, the Caan beat down from the prior episode is the scene that has a hilariously bad whiff by James Caan so I don't quite understand that part.

I'm looking forward to the finale tomorrow and I'm at a complete loss as to why critics were apparently dissing this series.

Great acting all the way around, good storytelling and wonderful nods back to the movie. It's a tragedy that WAY more people will watch Obiwon than this.

Is that person someone you tend to agree with on reviews? I don't think there is any movie reviewer left that I care what they think of a movie or a show anymore

As a fan of The Godfather, I've thoroughly enjoyed this show and I'm excited about watching the finale.

I had no idea of the behind-the-scenes issues the studio and filmmakers grappled with.

I'm no critic, but I thought the actors have all been great, especially Matthew Goode as Robert Evans and Giovanni Ribisi as Joe Colombo.

Great finale.

Absolutely loved Goode's cadence as Evans…I wouldn't mind seeing a series just on his life.

Great finale and a great show! As always, critics are idiots.

Absolutely loved this show. It was essentially Paramount very publicly patting themselves on the back for a movie they made 50 years ago. And it was great.

I'd love to see the critic's favorite movies, TV are.

He was fantastic.
I also enjoyed the performance of Bluhdorn, who looked familiar and looked him up and he was on Game Of Thrones. He played Tanner, who plots the coup to overthrow Jeor Mormont and memorably drank from his skull. He's just slightly nicer in this role.
