The Shelbys had their razor-lined flat caps, the Roys had their private jets. But the Guinness heirs? They had brewing vats and a bottomless thirst for power that would end up shaping more than just a beer brand – it would alter the fabric of an entire nation. That’s the kind of show-making hook Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knightwas drawn to when he crafted his next period drama hit for Netflix. In House of Guinness, an eight-episode series premiering on the streamer this week, Knight trades the betting fields of Birmingham for the boozy, industrial battlefield of 19th-century Dublin, drafting a historical epic that feels likeSuccession dressed in Victorian garb.
