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.
While nobody will mistake “The Offer” for a timeless classic, the series has enough campy energy and gossipy showbiz verve that it keeps you watching, even when it borders on the ridiculous.

Most fun Ive had with a series in a long time. Incredible casting, immersive crrative experience, Hollywood and NY in the 70s, the mob, this show has it all! The critics are so out of touch on this one, its incredible. Movies are made formthe audience, nkt the critics and the audience LOVES this show!

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. I just watched the last episode and the only disappointment I have is that there won't be another.

What begins to detract somewhat from this entertaining pulp is the focus on the real-life mafia itself.
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.
Played with gusto by an engaging cast, The Offer falls down on its tin ears and broad strokes. You can’t help but feel The Godfather deserves so much better.
Only rarely less than watchable — though the 64-minute finale is close to unwatchable — The Offer is an illustrated Wikipedia entry stretched illogically to 10 hours by pandering to cinema fans with endless winking and nudging, and with performances that range from likably cartoonish to Madame Tussauds in a heatwave. It’s bad, but never quite boring.
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.
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 loved this! The performances by Matthew Goode and Miles Teller were outstanding here. I would love to see more "Making of" type stuff in series form. You don't have to be a Godfather fan to enjoy this, because the saturation of actual events **** you right in. Bravo
