From the creator of Peaky Blinders comes House of Guinness, a historical drama based on the family that founded the titular beer. Specifically, it follows the four heirs to the Guinness throne: hotheaded Arthur, power-hungry Edward, enlightened Anne, and troublemaker Benjamin. Like Succession before it, much of the show’s watchability stems from the siblings’ unrelenting rivalry to get what’s theirs. But in the process, the show sheds interesting, informative light on the history of Ireland. You might not learn about the brewing process, necessarily, but you will be entertained by the drama, history, and forbidden romances.
"Knight knows how to pace a show, and House of Guinness is immensely watchable from scene to scene, most of which are launched from one to the other by means of a bit of contemporary rock music."
— Jackson McHenry
"It might not be all that good when binged all at once. But consumed in moderation on a gloomy day, it could be the cure for what ales ya."
— Clint Worthington
Dublin, 1868. The Guinness family patriarch is dead, and his four children — each with dark secrets to hide — hold the brewery's fate in their hands.
