Any dedicated Guinness drinker knows that the iconic Irish stout is made to be gulped, never sipped. So, it’s rather fitting that Netflix’s new crime drama “House of Guinness” is a TV show best consumed in just a few sittings rather than savored over a longer period.
The period drama comes from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight, and while it’s desperately lacking a leading figure as compelling as Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby, it’s sure to appeal to fans of Knight’s popular historical crime serial. It mixes many of the same ingredients, brewing a crime-fueled tale with notes of family fallout and societal corruption.
