‘House of Guinness’ Review

Critics who finished watching House of Guinness on Netflix have shared their reviews online. Many praised Steven Knight’s gripping story about brothers and their tangled relationships while running a prestigious dynasty. The show’s political intrigue and its familiar Peaky Blinders-style drama might catch your attention, but some critics felt it was hard to keep track of everything. What disappointed them most was that, despite the rich setup, nothing truly managed to captivate viewers. They also noted that the series takes its time to pick up momentum. Scroll down for detailed reviews.

Watch the Trailer of ‘House of Guinness’:

Financial Times: "Like a pint of stout, House of Guinness requires a bit of patience. It finds ever-busy Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight turning his pen to the 1860s and the travails of Dublin’s wealthy brewing family, who are undergoing a succession crisis just as Ireland is experiencing ever more urgent and organised calls for independence. The first two episodes do it no favours, and set it up as an insipid historical slog, though with perseverance, it does eventually settle into something a little more smooth and robust."

Variety: "The show isn’t historically accurate, but it’s mostly a fun ride for those interested in the Guinnesses and Ireland’s extensive history. Though “House of Guinness” isn’t Knight’s best work, it’s a compelling tale about family, ambition, desire and what it costs to remain at the top."

Collider: "The cast, including Anthony Boyle, Emily Fairn, James Norton, Danielle Galligan, and Michael McElhatton, is full of standouts from the top down. The show's punk-rock sensibilities and in-your-face, stylised subtitles are a breath of fresh air in the genre. The series is indisputably Irish in its identity, from its soundtrack to its embrace of the language. The show seems to set certain characters aside, like Anne, as the story progresses. The series' frequent time jumps may be tough to spot for those who aren't paying perfect attention.

Screen Rant: "House of Guinness is off to a promising start with these eight episodes. A season 2 hasn’t yet been announced, but that’s surely the intention given how season 1 ends. And I do hope we get more, because while it may not be wildly original or all that historically accurate, it’s certainly entertaining and a welcome diversion." What If...?
