House of Guinness: Not Peaky Blinders — A Show of Its Own

In this episode of Swoon-Worthy, we uncap the drama of Netflix’s House of Guinness, the sweeping historical drama series that follows the powerful Guinness siblings in 19th-century Ireland. We share our favorite scenes and dive deep into character arcs, sibling dynamics, and the tangled romances involving strong women, ambitious brothers, and the intriguing Mr. Rafferty (James Norton). We gush over the standout costuming (especially the men’s fashion, which rarely steals the spotlight), and muse on what we’d love to see in a potential Season 2. Did it succeed in what it was marketed as: Peaky Blinders meets Succession? We break down what worked, what didn’t, and why House of Guinness might just be carving out its own legacy.
