"exposing the cracks and toxicity behind the scenes. Last year, Baby Reindeer, a Netflix show about a bartender being stalked by a customer, elucidated something that civilians (those outside the industry, in bartender speak ) don't always understand. It showed, plainly, that "bartending is an office that makes its holder a captive audience in a way that few other jobs do," Rosie Schaap wrote for Punch ."
"House of Guinness: House of Guinness , from the creator of Peaky Blinders, follows four adult children who, in the wake of their father's death, inherit the Guinness brewery and all of the sociopolitical challenges that come with it. This, from what I can tell, sounds a little like if Succession were set in 1860s Dublin and revolved around one of the world's most famous beer companies."
Drinks culture often appears on-screen only as superficial set dressing or as intoxication-based plot points. Two upcoming Netflix dramas, House of Guinness and Black Rabbit, center their narratives on the beverage industry and nightlife. House of Guinness follows four adult children who inherit the Guinness brewery after their father's death and confront attendant sociopolitical challenges in 1860s Dublin. Black Rabbit follows a Manhattan restaurant owner with a VIP cocktail lounge whose ambitions shift when his brother arrives. Baby Reindeer previously illustrated the captive-audience nature of bartending and revealed workplace vulnerabilities. Industry visibility can attract new audiences and expose behind-the-scenes toxicity.
