House of Guinness, Netflix
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight takes us inside another family dynasty in a period drama delving into the history of Ireland’s famous stout empire. Set in 1868, the tale opens on the day of Sir Benjamin Guinness’ funeral, as his children (played by Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea and Louis Partridge) face up to the task of running the world famous St James’s Gate Brewery. Some are better prepared than others, and Knight relishes the chance to put a modern spin on a 19th-century story, as four very different siblings wrestle with responsibility and legacy in a wild tale that froths with forbidden love and rebellion.
