On Netflix there is a new series “The House of Guinnesses”, which has already come to be called the crazy madness of “Bright Caps” and “Spadkoemtsiv”. It is clear that the series, which tells the story of the legendary dynasty of Irish brewers, has a lot of respect.
This series begins in Dublin, around 1868. The patriarch of the Guinness family, Benjamin Lee Guinness, dies and leaves the share of the brewery in the hands of his four children, whose skins leave a sweaty frown in the dark. There is more information about Benjamin Wart: Sir Benjamin and Guinness was the son of Arthur Guinness, who founded the Guinness company in 1759. In the near future, Benjamin took control of the business and sales. He also entered politics, becoming Mayor of Dublin in 1851, and first took over the business of the family company. In 1865, his family was elected a member of the Chamber of Communities. After his death, he lost control of the company to two sons: Arthur and Edward, and then things start to get worse.

The series is based on real stories and tells about the homeland behind the Guinness brewery in the 19th century in Ireland and New York. Based on the inheritance after the death of Benjamin Guinness, which brewery achieved great success, there are four adult children – Arthur, Edward, Anne and Ben (they play obviously Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Emily Fairn and Fionn O'Shea).
The series was created by Stephen Knight, one of the most brilliant British filmmakers, who gave us the series “Ghosts of the Cards”. Knight is a master of working with historical subjects and telling stories about homelands, in the midst of which there are biases, so for a new project, stories about the legendary homeland of the Guinness brewers, there was high interest. The director got it right: “The House of Guinness” is a stylish, dynamic series, where the heroes squabble, boil, share carnage and fight, rot and seize power in intimate chambers, and suffer even more effective – accompanied by rock music and in luxurious Victorian costumes.
The best thing about the series is the dramatic exchanges between the heroes and the bright, three-dimensional characters. Behind them are real people with very ambitious characters. Thus, the British actor Anthony Boyle plays the role of Sir Benjamin Guinness's elder son Arthur – a true Irish dandy, a graduate of Trinity College, who was led by his love to the luxurious infirmity of his and dear speeches, as well as being a literary muse for James Joyce, who fell in love with Arthur Guinness and his Victorian manners when he wrote “Ulysses.”
Another great character is Edward Guinness, the third son of Benjamin Guinness, played by the young actor Louis Partridge. He himself expanded the sphere of activity of the Guinnesses to an unprecedented level, which was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1886. He was deprived of his head by the ruler until his death. And when it happened, the news hit the New York Times: “Earl Ivey was considered the richest man in Ireland and the richest man in Great Britain, whose wealth was estimated at about 100,000,000 dollars,” the newspaper wrote in 1927.
The struggle for power between the sons is watched over by her sister Enn, who is pitifully ignored by her homeland, but still gives the “House of Guinness” additional depth and sincerity of the wonderful game of Emily Fern. And one of the most colorful roles in the “House of Guinness” is played by James Norton: his hero, Irishman Sean Rafferty, is one of the workers at the Guinness factory. A charismatic woman, and sometimes a cruel man, Sean Rafferty uses every means to steal Guinness's homeland and her reputation. Rafferty exaggeratedly sings of his strength, infused with sexual charisma. He is a great Catholic, who knows that he sometimes defeats the devil, and it is too difficult to watch over this hero, and critics say that this is one of James Norton’s most exciting roles.
