Unchosen Men: Sharpe's Rifles (1993)
Manage episode 361939893 series 3348404
It's mini-series time! Come with us on a journey as we dive into the series that was designed in a lab deep under London to appeal directly to one Matthew J. Conrad: "Sharpe". "Sharpe" was a TV show that ran from 1993 until 2008 for a grand total of 16 episodes. The hitch is that each episode is 2 hours long! So this is a 16 movie long series that the Brits called a "TV Show". TV makes no sense over there.
ANYWAY, we follow our hero Richard Sharpe (played by Sean Bean at his absolute swarthiest) as he makes his way through the ranks of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars (like we said, designed in a lab for Matt Conrad).
The first up in our adventure is "Sharpe's Rifles", adapted from the novel of the same name. We meet Richard and the rest of the Chosen Men. They fight, they fight, and well... they also fight. Secrets are kept secret, French people get shot, Spanish women are seduced, and a Rothschild dresses up as a Methodist woman. It's a trip.
Join Matt and Connor as they sit down to discuss the first step of their great adventure together. After this, there are only 15 more to go!
