dhbraves94 on January 1, 2026 6:03 am I discovered this on the History Channel. Read almost all the books.
creggor on January 1, 2026 6:03 am Always thought he could have played a good Jack Aubrey in a TV adaptation.
Pertinax1981 on January 1, 2026 6:10 am Great show. I binged it all on YouTube last year. Stumbled on Liz Hurley in the show. Somehow YouTube let the nudity slip through.
seimalau on January 1, 2026 6:34 am I started looking into Sharpen after someone mentioned Warhammer 40K’s Gaunt’s Ghosts series is similar to Sharpe. I enjoyed the snippets on YouTube.
threedoggies on January 1, 2026 6:43 am I need to get around to watching this show. For some reason, scenes from it are often recommended by YouTube and I always watch and enjoy the clips.
Kam_yee on January 1, 2026 6:52 am I see a Sharpe post and I gave the order to upvote, that’s my style sir!
austeninbosten on January 1, 2026 6:55 am I’ve never seen the show but have read a few of the books. He sure looks the part.
bubdadigger on January 1, 2026 7:41 am The one he stayed alive longer compared to any other movies/shows?
Dennyisthepisslord on January 1, 2026 8:00 am Watched this recently…it’s a little dated. A big budget reboot could work.
Bone_in_Ribeye on January 1, 2026 8:04 am And in LOTR after he cuts himself on the shards of Narsil he says “Still Sharp.”
KrawhithamNZ on January 1, 2026 8:06 am It was amazing how they managed to show major battles on a TV budget by only showing a tiny amount of combat involving a few people. If the show got made today it would be thousands facing off.

Did he die in that show too?
