The Offer (TV Mini Series) Fade In (2022) User Reviews

Mafia Is A Four Letter Word

Matthew Goode continues to steal the show with his incredible portrayal of the mercurial Bob Evans. Kudos also to Director Adam Arkin who is moving things along as he captures the multi-faceted frenzy involved with getting this great film made.

Previously, all the shop talk surrounding this film pointed towards FF Coppola, masterfully portrayed by Dan Fogler, as being the driving force behind this film, but herein it is clearly the much lesser-known Al Ruddy who is the Ringmaster.

The tie-in between trying to get a Mafia film made, juxtaposed with happenings with the real life Mafia, is deftly juggled.

Entertaining

Greetings from Lithuania.

Third episode of The Offer called Fade In was an entertaining one. Production values, acting, make up, set design are all top notch. Yet i can't shake the felling that I'm watching a pulp more then real life. I know it's based on real event about creation of Godfather, but character feel like a charicatures more then real persons. Those are impersonations were seeing, nothing more.

Overall, 3rd episode was a solid one. Good solid entertainment is what Offer is, not a real life account of Godfather was made. But despite that, I'm enjoying this show and will watch remaining episodes.
