Summary

Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight pours himself a large glass of bitter infighting for a gritty eight-part period drama set in 19th-century Dublin and New York. The death of Sir Benjamin Guinness creates a power vacuum at the world-renowned brewery that could be filled by one or more of his children, Anne (Emily Fairn), Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Ben (Fionn O'Shea) and Edward (Louis Partridge). Anne is immediately overlooked by virtue of her sex while the men disagree about the best course of action to ensure the continued prosperity in the stately mansions of Dublin. Brewery foreman Sean Rafferty (James Norton), who operates as a fixer for the Guinness dynasty, is a key ally as powerful rivals circle like sharks and the four children try to continue their father's remarkable legacy

Review

Jack Seale

Everyone would like to have the new Peaky Blinders on their streaming platform. Like Disney+ did with A Thousand Blows, Netflix has hired the Peaky writer himself, Steven Knight, to create their attempt. His rollicking new saga is vaguely fact-based and is set in 19th-century Dublin, where the patriarch of the Guinness family has just died. His three sons and one daughter would each bring something very different to a brewing business that dominates the city’s economy and is run at ground level by swaggering enforcer Sean Rafferty (James Norton).

With rebellion in the air, violence never far away, a cacophonous modern soundtrack and plenty of arch schemers, it’s never dull.
