The Offer

Simply put this was a rollercoaster of a show, with some unexpected characters. Who knew the story behind The God Father was just as intriguing as the movie itself. I'm not sure authenticity of all the details but it was exciting and very fun to watch, see how it came together with all these amazing characters. After this show I am genuinely a fan of Miles Teller, and Matthew Goode was just as good in his role. It is a short show I highly recommend to watch, you end up wanting to watch The God Father after watching this show.

This was a fine piece of storytelling. Were there liberties taken in Albert Ruddy's original material? Most likely. But, that doesn't make this mini-series any less entertaining. The story, coupled w/ some really amazing performances, made this quite an enjoyable watch. Juno Temple and Matthew Goode particularly stand out as having given tremendous renditions of their characters. Burn Gorman, Dan Fogler, Nora Arnezeder, Miles Teller, Colin Hanks, Josh Zuckerman, Anthony Ippolito, Justin Chambers, and Giovanni Ribisi were all great, as well. If my rating were based solely on acting, I would've awarded this a 10/10. I enjoy these period pieces that take a deep-dive into the era from which the story derived. It adds a lot of authenticity to the creation, and this was no different. If you're a fan of The Godfather, you'll likely love this. If you enjoy stories w/ lush arrangements of well-defined characters and multiple moving pieces that make it seem as if the well-known finished product would never come together, this may be the story for you.
