Reviews for the Sharpe series
“A rousing adventure with spirit, Sharpe's Rifles is particularly
suited to fans of historical drama, British television, and those looking for a
change of pace from Hollywood fare” DVD Verdict (sharpe's rifles)
“Anyone who enjoys period pieces would be doing themselves a favor by
following this series. The acting is terrific and the story compelling.
It's enough to make me want to pick up the novels upon which these are based as
I've been told the film adaptations are quite faithful to the original Cornwell
stories.” epinions.com (sharpe's company)
“It's good to see that British TV, unlike its American counterpart,
occasionally presents entertainment programming that can be enjoyed by people
with IQ's higher than a potted plant. I have only seen four episodes, but
I was impressed. It's a good series about the uneasy alliances in the late
stages of the Napoleonic Wars. It features excellent character development,
interesting historical trivia, and a very charismatic lead performance by Sean
Bean…” scoopy.com (sharpe's enemy)
" terrific battles, intense rivalries, and good swordplay."
epinions.com (sharpe's battle)
“I highly recommend this series, and Sharpe's Eagle in particular to
anyone who likes period pieces, especially those with swashbuckling heroes, who
always somehow manage to deliver on a promise made to a dying friend.”

“There's no lack of swordplay, battles and fights in Sharpe's Sword
and they are excellent.” epinions.com (sharpe's sword)
“..though its protagonists now may not be as fit as they were back in
the day, Sharpe's Challenge is my favorite of the bunch. Sweeping, well-acted
and kick-ass, the film delivers all the swashbuckling snark that followers of
the films (and books) have come to expect.” DVD Verdict
(sharpe's challenge)
“it's a fitting end to the series…The battle scenes in
Sharpe's Waterloo are among the best in the series.” epinions.com
(sharpe's waterloo)
“The writing is top notch (and apparently very faithful to the novel)
and the story moves along quite well with no lagging. The acting is terrific.
For anyone who is interested in these types of period pieces, I highly
recommend it.” epinions.com (sharpe's enemy)
“One of the better offerings in the series of British tele-films,
Sharpe's Siege builds a nice bit of suspense in a terrific story.”
(sharpe's siege)
“a production that seemed less like a TV movie and more like a
full-fledged feature experience. Though there aren't any big castle sieges as in
Sharpe's Challenge, Sharpe's Peril still manages to bring a hefty dose of
action and set-pieces, highlighted by a handful of battles and plenty of
sword-fighting and shotgunning.Anchoring all the tomfoolery are Bean and
O'Malley, two guys so intimate with the characters they're portraying, the
performances come easy. Sharpe and Harper's chummy relationship is right up
there with the gold standard bromance set by Verenus and Pollo from Rome. Like
V and P, when they're called to spring into action and kick their enemies in
the balls, they can bring the pain…” DVD Verdict (sharpe's peril)
“Anyone who likes historical fiction would love this series..”
