Netflix's latest historical drama, House of Guinness, will surely become your next obsession. The recently released series is brought to you by Steven Knight, the brains behind the critically acclaimed series Peaky Blinders. However, expect no gang wars or racetracks, but there is enough family and sibling drama to keep you hooked for eight episodes.
House of Guinness is based on the real-life family dynasty, the biggest stout manufacturers in 18th-century Britain. We are taken to 1868 Ireland, where the family is reeling from the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, the family patriarch. While Benjamin's four children are mourning the death of their father, they also have the huge responsibility of their family's legacy on their shoulders.
Like his critically acclaimed period series Peaky Blinders, music is also the main character in Netflix's House of Guinness. The soundtrack of the show is as addictive as the black gold it is about, and it will keep you hooked. Music has the ability to transport you to faraway places, and the show's soundtrack certainly transcends time and space. It transports you to the sooty streets of Ireland, where trouble is brewing and sibling relationships are being tested.
Here is the complete soundtrack guide of the Netflix show.
