Late to the party as always, but we finally watched the House of Guinness on Netflix. It reminded me of Peaky Blinders in the way it was filmed, but Peaky Blinders was way better!!
The way it finished makes me think there should be a second series. It does clearly say this is a work of fiction loosely based on facts. I agree with that, as I looked up the history of the Guinness family and some things don't add up. I do find the Irish accent a bit strong at times, so didn't catch everything that was said. Saying that Peaky Blinders was as bad at times. Will I watch a second series, maybe if there is nothing else on!
Talking of strong accents I had to have subtitles on when watching Brad Pitt in Snatch...LOL Great movie but that Irish accent.................
In case you think I am being "racist" on Irish accents, believe me when I say I have to listen very carefully when talking to people with a Scottish accent as well!! Plus where we come from in Cumbria, we have what we call a "broad fell back" accent, and I really have to listen carefully or tell folk to slow down when talking (a couple of nephews are really broad). I was standing in line at the chip shop in Carlisle, Cumbria where I was born. I was attempting to listen in on someone's conversation 😁 and couldn't understand a bloody word, as they were talking in a broad Carlisle accent!!! I have been living in Canada too long....LOL
