But, because Jesse Armstrong&#8217;s series was constantly poking fun at the Roys, we were able to follow these wildly flawed characters through their various misadventures.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Shiv, Kendall, Roman, Conner and Willa at Logan's funeral in Succession\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Q.FgPVfqstyETxVXfpMLqA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/5805ff03a3fd85a61603a95f1d2c27bf\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: HBO<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The drama of <em>Guinness <\/em>is there, including some surprisingly violent sequences throughout its first season. I think, though, that adding more dark comedy about the family would have helped to buoy its first set of episodes. Like the Roys, the members of the Guinness family are all seriously messed up when we meet them, and struggling to connect with each other and keep the beer business going. Leaning into these antagonistic sibling relationships might have helped to mine more comedy out of the popular series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the time of writing this story, the series is no longer trending in Netflix&#8217;s Top 10 TV shows. But, because it was released in its entirety in late September, that could explain why it&#8217;s less popular. As such, we&#8217;ll have to wait and see whether or not Steven Knight&#8217;s collaboration with the streaming service ends up continuing with a second season. The critical response has been rather positive, so things are looking hopeful in that regard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>House of Guinness<\/em>&#8216; full eight-episode season is streaming now on Netflix as part of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/2025-tv-premiere-date-schedule-upcoming-new-returning-shows\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:2025 TV schedule;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">2025 TV schedule<\/a>.
