He Makes Them An Offer They Refuse

[douglasmcbroom · 9/10 · 20 May 2022]

Best episode yet. This was also Miles Teller's (Al Ruddy) best effort. Matthew Goode (Bob Evans) continues to be absolutely outstanding. But, Burn Gorman (Charlie Bluhdorn), stole this episode with an incredibly electric and borderline insane portrayal of a businessman who, when he says he will kill you, you believe it.

This series has an obvious problem-copyright issues. So they can't show us the filming of scenes using the dialogue and music from 'The Godfather.' But, they have managed to work around it beautifully. I noticed they gave Bluhdorn a couple of the classic lines from the movie in tonight's episode, which is very clever.

The juxtaposition of the real-life Mafia struggles playing out against the backdrop of the film, is brilliant.

Goode was great(e)

Great history (and Godfather scenes) in this episode but outstanding acting from Matthew Goode! He made the entire episode with his board meeting speech! Kudos!

A little slower than the others

This episode offers us our first couple of days of shooting. However it seems that after spending 5 episodes building up to it, we didn't see much of it. Nevertheless Matthew Goode went on to deliver a passionate speech that redeemed the character of Robert Evans.

That boardroom speech will live on for eternity

I have personal history with Robert Evans. He would of been proud of this one. This is my favorite show on tv right now and it isn't even close. The fact critics were so off the mark on this is very disappointing to say the least. But also not surprising. That's why I'm writing this.

My God- what a story!

This cast and crew made not just the best hour of television - but the best hour of story telling on any screen ever.

Giovanni Ribisi, Burn Gorman, Mathew Goode, Juno Temple- took this episode and owned the screen. This show needs to win every award possible and this episode is so far the best.

If you aren't watching this show- why not?

Good series so far but... it drags on

[landryma-53969 · 6/10 · 20 May 2022]

I was very enthusiastic for the first episodes but with this ep. 6 I feel it tends to drag on... The plot so far is pretty much this: the production has problem, it's fixed, the production has problem with the mob, it's fixed. And the life of Robert Evens seems much more interesting than the one of Al Rubby... I think the series should have been 8 episodes (not 10).
