THE OFFER
If you haven’t watched THE OFFER (trailer here), you’re missing out. Starring Miles Teller, Juno Temple, Colin Hanks, and Matthew Goode, it’s for sure one of the most fun limited series of the year. The plot centers around Teller, playing Al Ruddy, the producer of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 cinematic masterpiece, THE GODFATHER. The show offers one of the most realistic (albeit in a very deus ex machina version) portrayals of how movies in Hollywood get made I’ve ever seen. Ruddy and his boss, Paramount studio head Bob Evans (played by a scene-stealing Matthew Goode), fight the studio owners, the Italian mob, and their own personal demons to bring Mario Puzo’s book to the silver screen. This all makes for a feel-good story in a vibrant 1970s Los Angeles. The cast works incredibly well together and Matthew Goode’s performance is mesmerizing. If you are like most movie fans and place THE GODFATHER up there on your all-time ranking, please give this a watch.
