I went to check for the new season of Alice in Borderland and saw this new show also released today from the creator of Peaky Blinders. Anybody planning to watch this?

In 1868, the Guinness family patriarch is dead in Dublin; his four children, each with dark secrets to hide, hold the brewery's fate in their hands.

Enjoyed the first two episodes. Some intriguing characters already. Nothing earth shattering yet, but a solid start.

is this at all historically accurate or did they just get a huge product placement deal on their period piece script?
obviously it’s dramatized but is there at least some shady or exciting stuff going on in guinness history

It is the same as Peaky Blinders. It takes place and is framed in historically accurate context, many of the people are real historical people, but most of the story is either made up from a very loose historically accurate starting point or over dramatacized from very thin historical evidence. The show will also weave in real historical events into the plot, that while may not have had direct actual involvement with the family, helps put real historical references into what is going on, same as Peaky Blinders.
Yes, there was some good, true drama to the family, but much of the show will take some liberties and run with stories that have been told about the family that aren't factually verified.

Ok seems interesting enough. Pro-English protest and irish family in 1860s Dublin probably has some shite going on.
Posted on 9/26/25 at 1:28 pm to SammyTiger
Yea, first two episodes set stage for lots of Catholic/Protestant stuff as well as Irish Republican Brotherhood.
It is focused around the four children and the aftermath of Bejamin Guinness's will and his stipulations. General framework on what he did was fairly accurate, though a few differences.

I think they started with Guinness for the script but it takes extreme liberty with the family. The old man had like 10 kids and while all 4 depicted in the series existed none of them inherited the brewery as none were the actual oldest son. In fact the second oldest inherited the business since the oldest was in the clergy and the uncle most closely represents him. There was no pitting them against themselves in the will as it all went to one brother and all the siblings got some money, nobody was left out.
That being said, I am enjoying it. 3/4s of the way through the 5th episode is going to ruffle some feathers.

No, he only had the 4.
ETA: I think you are one rung higher on the family tree than you should be.

No, he really did leave the brewery to them. He didn't stipulate that they'd lose everything if they left the business, but did make it that if they ever did, they'd only receive a negligible amount of capital from it, basically ensuring that they never really could pursue their own interests. The brother's could buy the other out if they declined, for 30,000 pounds.

This is true though. Benjamin jr and Anne both got much more than the show is depicting.

I had to look it up since I was going on memory from the film at the Guiness Brewery. No, he had a bunch of kids: from youngest to oldest Elizabeth, Hosea, Arthur, Edward, Olivia, Benjamin, Louisa, John Grattan, William Lunell, and Mary Anne. They also had 11 miscarriages. Hosea was the one that went into the clergy (oldest son) and I did get it mixed up and it was Arthur II who inherited the brewery. I didn't find anything about the brothers sharing the brewery via will but it certainly is possible. William and Benjamin did work in the brewery and became partners a few years after their fathers death. Edward never seemed to work in the brewery after Arthur's death and actually lost all his money in a ironworks buisiness and ran away to the Isle of Man.
