      Critics Consensus

      Gunpowder's bulky narrative provides few new historical insights, but its engaging leads and visceral violence may be enough to leave viewers remembering the fifth of November anyway. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Gunpowder: Season 1

      • Nov 16, 2022
        Though a short 3 episode series, there is much that is portrayed about the characters and events in which the show is based upon. Kit Hartington and the rest of the cast and crew did a superb job with the details and story about an event in time that could have had significant repercussions.... if their plan has been successful. HBO has given us another historical series that makes you think about what our actions in life may or may not do to change history.
