I have started this thread out of pure lust for two of the actors sat on the This Morning sofa

Historical drama set in 19th Century Dublin and New York

Based on a true story:

Looks good. All episodes released at 8am on Thursday, so expect spoilers on the thread.

House of Guinness: who were the scandalous family at the heart of the Netflix series?

Four siblings, one dead patriarch and a whole lot of drama — we separate the fiction from the historical facts

Now who wouldn't watch, based on that photo alone? 😍

OhTheProblemIsDefinitelyMe · 27/09/2025 17:04

I’ve just finished it -outstanding.

Loved every episode.
That actor pictured is only 22!
I have a DS the same age, but nowhere near that level of maturity

I still need to watch but i'm not bothered about spoilers

I was no way near that together at 22 😄 - did you see the lead actor of adolescence give his acceptance speech at an awards show? Super mature at such a young age!

Gosh, I've just seen the 'part' you're referring to 🤭😳

OhTheProblemIsDefinitelyMe · 28/09/2025 08:52

OMG! The bath scene -no wonder he was happy enough to do a nude scene 🫣

TooTooMuchEverything · 29/09/2025 02:27

I’m mid way through watching it now.

It’s undemanding tv, but not boring. The poverty juxtaposed against the opulence is always shocking when I see it. Very grim times for the poor people.

The second son is gorgeous, I agree. But I could nearly be that actor’s grandma.

The wedding reception deteriorating into a drunken riotous party was amising. It wouldn’t happen on Downtown Abbey.

Haven’t seen this bath scene but nothing is like the bath scene from Saltburn.

everyoldsock · 29/09/2025 06:14

I’ve been in two minds whether to start this, but now I’m thinking to give it a go…

gerispringer · 29/09/2025 06:58

Are they lining up for a second series?

C0NFUSEDIAM · 29/09/2025 07:02

Watched the first episode last night. Found it a bit annoying. The sepia and music. Irish series bingo. So done for the US viewers. I might continue for the bath scene though

Untailored · 29/09/2025 07:07

I’m on episode 3 and loving it. All the characters are interesting and have depth. Stephen Knight is such a great writer.

It’ll also make your jaw drop but for different reasons…

averylongtimeago · 29/09/2025 21:18

Watched the first episode- why is everything green- even the horses had a green tinge. Is it in case we forget it’s set in Ireland?
might continue to watch for the bath scene 😂

I'm only on episode 3 but mixed from me so far. It's more violent than I thought. I couldn't watch when the 3 men were tied to the chairs and getting beaten. I'm a wimp. And crude. I'm glad I'm not watching with my mum. She'd be horrified.

The Irish characters all have red hair and dress like leprechauns. Weird.

OhTheProblemIsDefinitelyMe · 30/09/2025 16:11

@C0NFUSEDIAM i was in two minds whether to watch more or not after that first episode, by 3 I was hooked (nothing to do with the bath scene, I was genuine joking the characters by then)

@Randomchat i also hated that, I had to look away, and it is the reason I didn’t watch Peaky blinders. There isn’t anything like that at all in the rest of the episodes, thankfully.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 30/09/2025 16:41

A few posters have said its Ireland for the Americans 😬

Friendlygingercat · 30/09/2025 16:47

I tend to watch anything historical although I know very little of Irish history. I have to say that I binge watched the entire series and enjoyed it. However I did miss some of the gritty detal so I intend to watch it again. Enjoyed the funeral with dancing couples!
