Die zehnteilige Miniserie erzählt von der Entstehungsgeschichte des Kultfilms „Der Pate“. Im Zentrum steht der Produzent des Films, Al Ruddy, und dessen Erfahrungen im Vorfeld und bei den Dreharbeiten des Oscar-prämierten Films von Francis Ford Coppola mit Marlon Brando und Al Pacino aus dem Jahr 1972, der wiederum auf einen Roman von Mario Puzo basiert.

I would like to know how much of this actually happened.
It's definitely a 10/10. If I could, I would have given it the best tv show of the year award. A must watch.
More than a tribute to the movie "The Godfather" (1972), the series is a set of anecdotes of dubious credibility, a revenge of a producer that has been denied, and that elaborates a biography in which the most important decisions were his. If as reality it's debatable, as a fandom that introduces the filming of a masterpiece it has exciting moments such as the collaboration Coppola/Puzo or the filming in Sicily.
Review for the complete tv show: Based on the experiences by the real Albert S. Ruddy, the show runners Leslie Greif and Michael Tolkin with the real Albert S. Ruddy and Miles Teller (producer and main cast, playing Ruddy) created a wonderful and excellent tv show about the making of 'The Godfather'. Full of details in set design, production and soundtrack, excellently cast even till the smallest part and full of references to the show business, Hollywood and the creators/cast of 'The Godfather' during the late 60s and early 70s, this show takes you behind the scene and tells the stories and lives of the women and men behind the movie 'The Godfather'. Divided mainly in three different points of view: the makers/crew of the movie, the management of the studios (Gulff&Western / Paramount), some italian mobsters (Joe Colombo & others) this tv show is like 'The Godfather' itself about family, loyalty, love and business/money. Although we all know the end, the movie 'The Godfather' got realized by Francis Ford Coppola, got Academy Awards wins, was one of the highest grosses at the Box Office in the 70s and is for a lot of critics the best movie ever made, this show is about the private lives, the drama and conflicts and dilemmas of all participants during the making of the movie. And that's what drives this tv show: it's the characters. Excellently acted, great cinematography, wonderful and detailled set design and production values, this tv show is a winner and surprised me, how good it is. Highly recommended for fans of 'The Godfather', for movie nerds, for fans of character driven stories and for anyone, who likes to watch an excellent drama tv show.
Simply put this was a rollercoaster of a show, with some unexpected characters. Who knew the story behind The God Father was just as intriguing as the movie itself. I'm not sure authenticity of all the details but it was exciting and very fun to watch, see how it came together with all these amazing characters. After this show I am genuinely a fan of Miles Teller, and Matthew Goode was just as good in his role. It is a short show I highly recommend to watch, you end up wanting to watch The God Father after watching this show.
