It’s based on Guinness Beer, that was brewed and created in Ireland.
Netflix hit it out of the park, this TV show is amazing. I loved every single moment. I’m not going to give anything away but it’s an Irish Tv show. Set it 19th century Ireland in a time when the hate between the British and Irish was just starting to take fire. Then you add the passing of the man that created Guinness and the family drama revolving around the 4 kids. The change of the guard regarding the business. We get to see how each of the kids handles the situation they’re now facing. Who wants to take over, who is being forced into it and what is going on around them. From gang violence in a sense at the Guinness docks to set a war between the cultures that are living in Ireland aka the British and Irish. Plus, the feelings regarding “The drink” and what who hates it and who loves it. It sets a fire around the people that work for Guinness and the family. The family members are awesome, and I loved every single moment with them. Their stories are really honestly in dept, and you get to see each of them handle the loss and the love they share for each other and how they protect each other. I admired that and I loved seeing such a loving set of siblings. Then you add a bad boy in the mix, and you got me paying attention. Now let’s talk about the MUSIC the soundtrack was probably my favorite soundtrack for 2025. Each song was perfect for each scene, and it made you feel each moment with your whole heart. I would own the soundtrack and listen to all the time. Noting like a bad ass soundtrack with a bad ass tv show. Soundtrack is done composed by Ilan Eshkeri I give it 5 starts 2 thumbs up and I totally recommend it.

What is Guinness – Guinness is an Irish dry stout known for its deep, dark color, creamy texture, and rich flavor, a result of roasted, unmalted barley. Its taste is a balance of bitter and sweet notes, featuring flavors of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt, with a smooth, velvety mouthfeel from the addition of nitrogen during carbonation. This process also creates its distinctive, dense, creamy head.
