Starring a young Sean , It's based on a british young adult napoleonic fiction series. kinda like master and commander, as far as genre. I think the youtube channel is giving it a bit of a revival (that's how I heard of it).

It's a fun show. There's not much character development, but def has themes on class and imperialism. The main character is an enlisted prole sergent that gets a field commission, so there's the tension he has with blue-blooded officers. His sergent Patrick is basically his sidekick, so there's also the tension between the irish soldiers and the anglos. Sharpe and Patrick are absolutely gay for each other !
