Is Sharpe based?

I was originally going down a rabbit hole to determine if Sean Bean is a CIA asset (or similar). While my conclusion is forthcoming on the above. I've never heard of Sharpe before. Is the made-for-tv series worth checking out?

Incredibly based series except for the fact that in the 1st episode his mission is literally to rescue and escort a Rothschild to Wellington's lines.

of course it is

Comparatively based by today's standards, but he's still somewhat cucked in the show. On balance I'd say it's worth a look - the books are better though...

Have you seen Hornblower? How does it stack up compared to that?

No, but it's only mildly subversive and if you're not English there's a solid chance you won't even recognise it as such.

Great acting, superb sets and costumes, it's absolutely based.

I read the books while in jail. Pretty good.

The only show where they didn't kill Sean Bean in each production.

The Spanish chic he's with in the first few shows is fugly. It's mildly subversive, but loads better than anything produced in last 10+ years. White Male patriarchy, honor, strength, fighting, etc. Now the girls he gets with later, very choice. Soap operas for bros. 8/10, free on Jew Tube.

The Rothschild they protect is a crossdresser.

no modern shit is worth watching so u kinda have to start looking to the past

The books are so much better than the movies/tv show.

The books are just non-stop swashbuckling action/adventure novels with lots of duels, battles, romance, you name it.

I read the whole series in the bathroom at work. You should also read the Horation Hornblower books and the Master and Commander books. Both are series written FOR autists, BY autists. But they're even beloved by normies.

>Is the made-for-tv series worth checking out?
Yes, solid show

Forgot, also read the Flashman series, which is almost like a parody of the Sharpe style Napoleonic adventure novels.

Much better than Hornblower. I've read the complete series for both.

The books are better.

Other Bernard Cornwell series
The Last Kingdom (highly based)
The Grail Quest (extraordinarily based)
Other novels worth looking at:
Stonehenge (based bri'ish Unga bungas)
Scoundrel (international drug and arms smuggling)

Warlord Chronicles is also very good.

I watched some of it recently there is an episode where one of the Rothschild's is disguised as a woman for 90% of the episode. Overall it's pretty good I get the impression it might not have been anything special at the time but it's miles better than anything coming out today.

It's all too much boy-fantasy, not real man fantasy. Real man fantasy is really being faced with opposition, risking not just your life but that of your future which Shape has none. Sharpe is basically a boy, getting the girl, losing the girl only to get another better girl by fate, winning battles against impossible odds, saving the UK from corruption and whatnot.

Sharpe is a Marty Stu.

>never heard of Sharpe before
How are you this culturally retarded?
