House of Guinness

It’s ironic, given the deep, rich flavors touted by the titular stout at the center of Netflix’s “House of Guinness,” that the show itself would feel so light and forthy. (The beer puns write themselves, but I’ll attempt to keep a thin head about it.) A prestige drama with hints of “Succession” and notes of “Peaky Blinders” (whose creator, Steven Knight, is also behind this), the show is a sprawling, splashy saga about the fight to keep the centuries-old stout manufacturer running amid political and personal turmoil in 1860s Dublin. It goes down easy, even if it has to take a few liberties to do so.
