The Offer - Paramount +

[KAB]

I am surprised there has been little to no buzz about this 10 part mini-series. It is such an interesting and engrossing retrospect of Albert S Ruddy's (Miles Tellar) travails in pulling off the original Godfather film The cast is EXCELLENT (including Juno Temple from Ted Lasso). Who would think Feancis Ford Coppala would provide most of the comic relief? Overall, it is a highly entertaining history lesson about overcoming the multiple obstacles of producing probably the greatest movie in history. I consider it a MUST SEE. It's all there to be binged, "Bubby"!

We were just discussing this at dinner this weekend, wondering if it was worth the time. As I have all three "Godfather" movies in my Library, I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Next on my list after finishing Big Sky.

It was fascinating to read in media how upset "Ol' Blue Eyes" Frank Sinatra was during the project.
Was he worried his alleged connections to Mafioso would come out?

I burned thru the first 8 episodes yesterday, up to 1am, watching the last 2 right now.

Paramount+ has fast become my favorite streaming service.

I had to talk my Wife into watching it (she thought it was a documentaty). Now she, like you, is burning through it.
