    1. Very interested in this and wonder if it’ll be truthful or quite revisionist… The Guinness family were very Anglo-Irish and definitely not Irish as the brand sells itself now.

      They married off into some horrendous and very powerful families (and there is a Peaky Blinders link of sorts along the way) that still wields influence today.

    2. The Guinness family were absolutely not this interesting but I support Anto Boyle supremacy.

    3. A period piece set in Ireland is exciting in theory, interested to see this and hoping it’s not some paddy-whackery

      I’m so happy there’s actually Irish actors in this so I won’t have to cringe the entire time at bad accents
