It's a free god damn country. Watch what you want to watch, shoot what you want to shoot, so long as it isn't illegal or hurting anyone, who gives a fuck. Don't just do something because others do it.

Is it on Netflix?

At the beginning of the series, Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) is a sergeant in the 95th Rifles serving in Portugal in 1809. When he singlehandedly saves the life of General Sir Arthur Wellesley (David Troughton in the first two films, then Hugh Fraser for the following films) from a group of French cavalrymen, Wellesley gives Sharpe a battlefield commission, appointing him a lieutenant. Sharpe is placed in charge of a detachment of the 95th Rifles: The term used for his men, 'chosen men' reflected the men's acknowledgment of marksmanship performance, rather than rank; it granted some privileges (such as avoiding certain routine duties) to the 'chosen men'.

It's pretty good but it does get a bit annoying how French dragoons show up out of the blue like Sinistar whenever it's dramatically convenient.

It's good change of pace to see Sean Bean NOT die in a show. That aside, I enjoyed the movies I've seen. The India episode is the last I remember clearly, but it's been a decade.
Shitty compared to the books, it suffered from clunky fighting and fuck ups due to lolTV production values.

The author likes it, though. Seriously, he tweaked Sharpe's origin story to fit the show because he liked Sean Bean's portrayal so much.
Plus, accurate Napoleonic costumery and weaponry>any amount of bad fight choreography, which for the budget it had, is actually fair to middling.
>Those rifle drills
>The uniforms
>Dear God the uniforms
>>29418091" Sharpie me lad! I'll make a soldier out of you me boy! "
For the budget it was given, its great. Funny when you compare the fight for the Eagle to the book, with several hundred soldiers fighting. Cut to TV, only about a dozen Frenchies defending an Eagle.
Do you know what though? Only TV series of its kind in the UK at least, and it does a lot of it very well.
Sean Bean also excellent casting choice.
>>29418091
It's okay it really didn't have the budget to show an actual representation of the scale of the Napoleonic wars
>Charge of thousands of men on horseback
>Portrayed as 9 or so guys swinging swords
>All of them pulled of horseback
I watched all but the last episode, and can tell you that I absolutely love it.
Yes, even the cheesy romance.
Watch it all friendo.

Bean wasn't their first choice to play Sharpe. The other guy got injured so he stepped in.
I got me right in the feels when Perkins died.
Sharpe in pooper
