House of Guinness is a lavish historical drama created and written by Steven Knight, the mind behind Peaky Blinders, for Netflix. Set in 1868, it opens in the aftermath of the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the patriarch who transformed the Dublin brewery into a global empire, and traces the fortunes of the four adult children left to inherit his complicated legacy.
Anthony Boyle and Louis Partridge lead as brothers Arthur and Edward Guinness, thrust into running the business together, while Emily Fairn and Fionn O'Shea play their siblings Anne and Benjamin. James Norton co-stars as the formidable fixer Sean Rafferty, and Jack Gleeson appears as Byron Hedges, as the family navigates rivalries, secrets, romance, and the political turbulence of Ireland on the brink of change. Knight frames the brewing dynasty as a saga of power and inheritance, drawing frequent comparisons to Succession and Downton Abbey.
Premiering in September 2025, the eight-episode series became one of Netflix's most talked-about period dramas, earning warm reviews for its sweep, style, and performances and a swift renewal for a second season. Rooted in the real history of one of Ireland's most famous families, it turns the story behind the black stout into rich, character-driven drama. It streams on Netflix.

Arguably the best medical drama in television history, House thrives on genius writing and equally brilliant acting. Set in a teaching hospital at Princeton University, the show builds its plots around complicated, complex, elusive, credulity-straining diseases and a team of diagnosticians willing to move heaven and earth to find their causes and treatments. Long-time House fans eventually demystify the show’s dramatic formula, which devotes the first third to diagnosis and discovery, the middle third to trial and which seem to lead to a cure, and then the climactic ending which undoes all the drama of the first two thirds, curing the disease by revealing The Truth. Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House to perfection, sustaining the tension and contradiction between House’s arrogance and his irresistible compulsion to save people from their illnesses and often from themselves. One Los Angeles television writer sums-up, “A vicodin-popping, wise-cracking, gimp-guy who walks with his cane on the wrong side while he demystifies illnesses so bizarre they almost defy imagining—what’s not to like?”
