George C @Georgio999 Jan 14 It is a series loosely based on fact but with a lot of fiction weaved into it. The Guinness characters are real, however, the rest of the cast are mainly fictional and events of time are interwoven but not necessary associated with the Guinness dynasty. That said, it makes riveting viewing. I love James Norton's character, Rafferty, the Guinness's fixer. I would love a second season. See more Varadhia A @vtsurx Jan 14 Need a season 2 ASAP!

It is essentially the same but Irish version and the historic aspect of the story of the Guiness that we all drink adds another layer of interest to the show. Really well made, great creative director and acting - definitely worth a watch ! (it is only 8 episodes so you will not be signing you life away either) See more Giuli M @gmoram16 Jan 3 I ABSOLUTELY need a season 2 omg See more Chris C @KhiLani2 Dec 31 House of Guinness was a really good show overall. The acting was strong across the board, and it’s based on a real-life story, which makes it even more interesting to watch. The storytelling and atmosphere pull you in, especially if you enjoy historical drama with strong characters. It’s not quite on the level of Peaky Blinders, but it’s definitely close. If you’re a fan of Peaky Blinders, I’d recommend giving this one a watch — it has a similar vibe and enough depth to keep you hooked.

I'm not a fan of fictionalizing a real family that lives among us. If that is the idea, then a different name, other than Guinness would be better. As a former copyeditor, keeping fact from fiction is a good thing. I watched this online and on television. Both had sound problems and I had to rewind to hear what was actually said several times. Most times I guessed. The music was often too loud and didn't fit the series. Part of not hearing lines was the overbearing music, which I liked but it didn't work here. As a big fan of James Norton, (Grantchester, Happy Valley) I enjoyed his performance, but the last bar fight he was in seemed like his ending. Not sure why it was so dramatice with no real significance. He didn't die. See more Read all reviews
