I read the series of books that inspired these teleplays, and though I like the teleplays almost as much as the books that brought Richard Sharpe to life, I don't understand why they adapted the plot. I didn't mind the plot adaptation, but I just didn't understand why. A lower-class soldier rises through the ranks much to the scorn of his men, who believe only a proper officer should lead them, but Sharpe proves himself more than competent in leading them. After seeing this teleplay, I can't see anyone other than Sean Bean portraying Richard Sharpe. I thoroughly enjoy Cornwell's books, so it's nice to see someone else appreciating them through film!
