The Lemon Fool

Having been over 50 years late to watch The Godfather and impressed with Juno Temple in Fargo S05, I watched The Offer, which includes another good performance by her.

It's a TV series about the making of the film The Godfather and has Miles Teller.

I gave this a miss originally but that was a mistake. After a couple of episodes it sucks you in. It's highly entertaining too. It let's you into some insights about the film that brings a new light.

It's regarded as one of the greatest films ever yet was almost never made. It will make you want to watch the film again

I give this a solid 8/10

There is also a great bonus Mathew Goode over the top performance.

Where can I watch this?

Spoiler alert






















Interestingly I listened to a podcast where they said it was having trouble getting made until they negotiated with the Mob to stop industrial action against the film and it was agreed if the word "mafia" was not to be used in the film. It was agreed to take out the word. Apparently what the mob didn't know because they hadn't read the script, was that it was only mention twice anyway!

Strangely Paramount+ or Apple.

You need to add a Spoiler to that podcast
