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

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.

I can understand some critics disliking the creative license applied to the history of the film's production, and I appreciate that it's more Hollywood navel gazing, but The Offer is bloody great TV.

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.

This a very good TV show. The acting is above the norm and some way above. It holds your interest. The critics are wrong about this one.

His determination to make this film happen is met with continual setbacks from casting issues to Italian gangsters. This series explores the challenges with fascinating insight, while boasting an impressive cast of spot-on performances. Viewing this from today's perspective adds extra irony to every situation, but more important, this is an entertaining look at the production process.… 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.

Fast paced, fascinating and well acted across the cast, especially Matthew Goode's portrayal of Robert Evans.

Yes, it really idealizes the conception of one of cinema's greatest masterpieces, and by the way my favourite film of all time. It also focuses more on Al Ruddy than the actual production of the film, and that didn't exactly satisfy me, butYes, it really idealizes the conception of one of cinema's greatest masterpieces, and by the way my favourite film of all time. It also focuses more on Al Ruddy than the actual production of the film, and that didn't exactly satisfy me, but it does have some good moments, especially the dinner scene with the main cast of The Godfather.

The cast of this series is quite good and full of familiar faces, and the story is really entertaining, although it goes on for far too long and I really think the 10 episodes were too many.
This is exacerbated by its open-ended conclusion, because it doesn't feel like an ending. And it's not that they intend to do a second season with the making of The Godfather Part II, it's just that when it comes to the end, it doesn't feel as emotionally charged as I think it should have been.

The Offer it's worth your time, but be warned that it's an overly romanticized version of real life events, but as a curiosity it's more than fine.… Expand

Everyone playing a caricature and it is way too long. Four episode would have been enough. It is very flattering for the producer Al Ruddy whose book was the inspiration.

I don't know how the writers pulled all of that together in just three episodes (so far), but they have. Beautifully executed. Beautifully filmed. Superbly acted.… Expand
