A period drama with a solid foundation in history would alone make for a compelling watch. Add to the recipe Game of Thrones favorite Kit Harington and there will be enough to sink your teeth into for a few hours. HBO’s Gunpowder does all this and more by taking viewers through some of the most notorious events in British history, including the infamous Gunpowder Plot. The three-part British historical drama television miniseries focuses on the foiled attempts of a group of British Catholics, which included Harington’s direct descendant Robert Catesby (portrayed by Harington), to blow up the House of Parliament on its opening day. Gunpowder focuses on a true story, parts of which continue to influence the traditions of current-day Britain.
