House of Guinness explores an epic story inspired by one of Europe's most famous and enduring dynasties — the Guinness family. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story begins immediately after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the man responsible for the extraordinary success of the Guinness brewery, and the far-reaching impact of his will on the fate of his four adult children, Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben, as well as on a group of Dublin characters who work and interact with the phenomenon that is Guinness.

Had such a crush on Dervla Kirwan when I was growing up. I didn't know she was in True Detective.

BTW all the Guinness served outside of Ireland tastes like the devils piss in comparison to what's made in Dublin exclusively for the home market. The international stuff is largely made in Nigeria. So its not particularly a "taste of Ireland"

Don't destroy the myth.

As a staunch fan of Guinness I'll watch this. Lots of cuties in the cast that didn't make that photo roster as well.

That the cast looks like what you'd expect from late 19th century Ireland is.......pleasing to say the least. Casting is healing with respect to these historic periods where 'diversity' is more about religious or economic differences, not ethnic ones.
