Overview

• All eight episodes of the Steven Knight–created series are now streaming on Netflix as of September 25.
• Set after Sir Benjamin Guinness’s 1868 death, the story centers on a succession deal that binds brothers Arthur and Edward, leaving Anne and Ben largely cut out.
• Critics widely praise the performances—especially James Norton as enforcer Sean Rafferty—along with the production design and moody atmosphere.
• Reviews note familiar Peaky Blinders–style choices, including anachronistic music and stylized violence, and some flag uneven pacing and overstatement.
• Producers emphasize creative license with an on‑screen disclaimer, and explain filming in Liverpool, Manchester, North Wales and Yorkshire to best evoke period Dublin.
