Collider Maggie Lovitt

Season 1 Review: The Offer is a nail-biting and exhilarating exploration into the making of one of the most iconic and influential films of the 20th century. While it leans heavily into the more fantastical accounts about the mafia and its influence on the film, it is still grounded in its approach and gives credit where credit is due. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it obviously won't measure up to the majesty of its famous subject, this highly watchable glimpse into the magic of movies makes an offer that's hard to refuse. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As a Hollywood history lesson, The Offer makes a lot of shortcuts. But as an ensemble buddy story, it's consistently charming. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even when it flies off the rails fudging facts about the mob and movie-making, this flawed but fascinating series about the creation of ‘The Godfather’—an enduring screen classic even after 50 years—is still an offer no movie fan can refuse. Read full review

The Playlist Rodrigo Perez

Season 1 Review: Adequately directed by Dexter Fletcher, (the Adam Arkin-directed episodes are better) the main ‘Offer’ problem—beyond its overall superficiality and lack of substance—is that it wears out its welcome. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The opening salvo of The Offer fails to convince us that 10 hours of a “true” Hollywood making-of story is worth sitting through. Haven’t we seen enough of this back-patting, inside-joke stuff lately? Rewatch The Player instead. Oh, and The Godfather, too. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Everyone collectively remembers the making of The Godfather as inspiring a high point in American cinema. Now we can all say it’s also inspired a forgettable, God-awful low point in television. Read full review

I have no clue what the critics are talking about. This is not a documentary. This is a fantastic, engaging, can-not-wait-for-the-next-episode piece of genius. Anyone who I have encouraged to watch it has thanked me profusely... some saying it is the best show they have ever seen on TV. II have no clue what the critics are talking about.

Brilliant series, amazing acting, well written and intriguing. Miles Teller is amazing as usual, and Matthew Goode doesn't disappoint either. Definitely a 10/10.

This series is so. much. fun. If you love The Godfather, and are a person of a certain age, watching this behind the scenes, making of, docu-comedy-drama of the process with all the hollywood/corporate, political, social, and actual mafioso scuttlebutt is pure pleasure.

If you love The Godfather, and are a person of a certain age, watching this behind the scenes, making of, docu-comedy-drama of the process with all the hollywood/corporate, political, social, and actual mafioso scuttlebutt is pure pleasure. Not sure what the "experts" were watching to give it such a low score, but after 3 episodes, I'm delighted and can't wait for the rest. Everyone is really well cast except Juno Temple, who I could do with less of, and is completely out of her element here.… Expand

Mad Men meets the rise of Indie Hollywood. Definitely over the top, but for those with a passing interest in the subject matter, the show has impeccable art direction, costumes and great, campy performances.

This is so bad on so many levels. In fact, it’s so bad on every level; writing, directing, acting, cinematography, production design… It’s the antithesis of the great film it’s supposedly about. Pure drek.
