The Offer is a Mini-Series produced by Leslie Grief (never seen anything from her) and Michael Tolkin who has proven to be a very good writer with The Player, Escape at Dannemora and more.
Obviously, the pivotal point of focus in this mini-series is The Godfather, arguably the best movie ever made but what stunned me the most was that soon you forget you're watching something related to The Godfather and you are engolfed by this force of nature that is Albert S. Ruddy.
It takes a vision of a genius to be that committed to something when everyone is against you and that applies to Ruddy but also for Coppola and Puzo. The cast is superb, Matthew Goode is carismatic and you can't take your eyes off of him, Juno is remarkable as a sidekick (her line of "Is it legal?" always gets me) to Ruddy and lastly, I loved Miles Teller on this mini-series and it may be some of his best work.
The look-alikes were very good, some uncanny. The storytelling is medium-paced (not slow but not very fast) and it locks your attention from beginning to end.
I really loved this show, watched it all in a week and if you haven't watched, it doesn't even matter if you're a fan of The Godfather or not (most likely you will be), you're still going to enjoy it.
