The Offer

Matthew Goode as Bob Evans is some wonderful casting and he has the persona and voice down pat. If you are interested in how movies are made and who the people are behind them you'll find this fascinating. If you aren't, you won't.

It's hard to even describe how much I enjoyed The Offer. All I know is I wasn't expecting that. It's easily one of the most surprising shows I've ever seem. I'm not saying it the best I've ever seem just surprised by how much I liked it. After reading all the great reviews I thought it would be good but this show is beyond just good. I couldn't get enough. I binged the entire series over a weekend and was sad when it was over. The writing is as good as a tv show gets, the acting is great, and every episode is entertaining enough to hold your attention throughout the series. I'm a huge Godfather fan but you don't have to like or even know anything about it to enjoy this. It's just a little more interesting if you do. If you're looking for a new show to watch or binge then look no further. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Thats all...There is a helleva lot of mediocre shows out there...This ones a gem, even if you aren't a Godfather aficionado this is just one great, incredible and best of all TRUE story. Its very well acted (especially the guy who plays Al Pacino) and I cant stand waiting for a week to catch the next episode (5 so far, 6 tomorrow). A total treat. A great show about making a classic movie, the kind that were made when Hollywood actually cared about its audience.

I like movies in general but somehow "The Godfather" has eluded me. Maybe it's the lengthy running time, dark lighting, or gangster shenanigans, but it is just something I haven't sought out to sit and watch. Now I hear about a TV series called "The Offer," its critical acclaim and high ratings, so I get intrigued, especially when I learn that the subject matter is about the making of "The Godfather." Is it a documentary? Why is the rating so high? I give the first episode a whirl and quickly realize it's a dramatization of events in the making of this classic movie, of course. As the series progresses, because it is so exquisitely made, I become more and more interested in the actual movie and so I finally give it a watch. All this time, I have been missing out on the burgeoning talents of Al Pacino in the early days, the artistic storytelling, and all the drama from everyone involved. "The Offer" does great service to viewers like me, and without it, I would have been deprived of this classic cinematic experience.

I didn't really know what to expect from The Offer. Even though I love The Godfather as much as everyone else, I wasn't all the interested on how the film was made. I was wrong! After reading all the great reviews and seeing the great cast I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm absolutely blown away by how much I like this show. You don't have to be a fan of The Godfather or have even seen it to enjoy this show. It's not the best series I've ever seen but it's still a really good and interesting series. Miles Teller, Giovanni Robison, Matthew Goode and the rest of this fantastic cast all do an amazing job. If you have reservations like I did on how good a show about a a movie getting made can be...don't! I absolutely recommend this show!
