[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extremely graphic and got slow/preachy towards the end but I really liked it. We watched it twice.

Normally I hate horror but there was something quite compelling about the family dynamics and the flashbacks were quite well done. Did not recognize Mark Hamill at all either as the consiglieri.

Never seen Peaky Blinders though. [/quote]

I think this poster is talking about a different show — maybe fall of the house of usher?

House of guiness is about 1868 Ireland and the inheritors of the guiness brewery.  Very very loosely historical.
I would be interested to know what PP’s Irish friends hated about it.  I have a general sense that the Irish hate anything that makes them look too “Irish” in a historical sense because so many Americans already have this frozen famine view of Ireland.  Also I noticed that at least half the actors are British which is weird considering how many good Irish actors there are.

I really liked the music background — basically all Irish music with a mix of different styles.  
There was on actor that really irritated me (the bastard cousins) but other than that I thought the acting was pretty good.  Some ridiculousness but not as soapy as some of the other Netflix historical dramas (like the Spanish stuff which is ridiculously soapy). [/quote]
