Ken and I are taking a break from our usual tech/history/sci fi ben and doing a deep dive into the historical fiction tv series Sharpe.

We're going to watch all 18 episodes and talk about them, you know, like if they were Mad Men or Rockford or Baa Baa Black Sheep or the Six Million Dollar Man...

Ken did his undergrad thesis on the Peninsular War, so we have that going for us us.

We talked about lots of stuff, including realizing tv is not reality (or even history), and the differences between how armies are organized today vs in the time of the show.

Next time we'll be doing 'Sharpe's Rifles' so, if you have the DVDs or Britbox, watch along!
