"The new series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has earned comparisons to HBO's Succession - mostly because of its "four dysfunctional siblings jockey for position after inheriting their late father's lucrative empire" premise - and generated a lot of buzz for actors James Norton and Anthony Boyle (and the latter's highly publicized nude scene). It's a fun, fictionalized tale of the Guinness family's efforts to expand their famous brewery"
"But while the series has been warmly received in the United States and U.K., Irish critics have been tearing it to shreds, taking issue with the show's historical inaccuracies, the questionable accents by some of the English cast members playing Irish characters, and the stereotypical depiction of the working-class Irish and members of the Fenian Brotherhood. While Norton - who is English - has become a bit of a heartthrob,"
The Netflix series House of Guinness has been positively received in the United States and U.K., earning comparisons to HBO's Succession and generating buzz around performances by James Norton and Anthony Boyle. The drama fictionalizes the Guinness family's post-1868 efforts to expand the brewery after Benjamin Guinness's death. Irish critics have criticized the series for historical inaccuracies, inconsistent Irish accents from English cast members, and stereotypical portrayals of working-class Irish and Fenian Brotherhood members. Filming took place mainly in Liverpool. The Irish Times specifically mocked Norton's accent and faulted the series' portrayal of Ireland's struggle for independence as reductive and inauthentic.
