When I saw the reasonably priced set remastered, I took a chance. Brilliant move on my part.
The colors are so much more vibrant and the details, even the uniform details are wonderous. The real kicker is that the closed captioning opens a whole additional level of appreciation. We feel as if we've watched a whole new and improved version. Which it is, for us.
Yes, its' for Region 2. So we 'splurged' and bought another DVD player from Amazon and it works like a dream. It's made me order two additional series from Great Britain, which aren't available in Region 1, and the shipping and handling is half the price that US sellers put on theirs.
For the closed captioning, you've just got to get this series. For the sharper colors, that's just a really wonderful langniappe.
The story is very compelling folioing the rise of a common soldier up from the ranks to become an officer in the British army of the early 1800's. Each episode corresponds to an actual battle of the period. Richard Sharpe is a real action hero of the times. Sean Bean plays the character to perfection. The production is very high quality. The supporting cast is great. The action and battle scenes show the horrors of war at that period very realistically. Development of the characters adds to the enjoyment of the series.
I have started to read the book series by Bernard Cornwell. There are over 20 books in the series encompassing a wider length of Sharpe’s career and adventures.
For history, military history and gun history I highly recommend the books and the DVD’s.
Fortunately, somebody wrote a review stating it was possible by downloading a free Video Lan Client (VLC) software from the internet and I could just Google it, which I did. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, so I did and then ordered the complete series. I can now watch them all on my laptop, just the way they were meant to be seen originally.
They came packaged very well. We just had to change our DVD Player on his computer to the proper region to view it and we were good to go.
As far as the series, it's a very great historical series. I got it for my husband, who is a historian. I didn't think I'd really like it at all. But I was wrong. I absolutely love it. "Over the hills" will be stuck in your head! :)

(Richard) Sharpe is the ultimate collection for any fan of Sean Bean - next to his really stunning piece of acting and vocal skills (you learn to love this Sheffield accent - though the subtitles sometimes help to really understand what he's saying), you learn a lot about the english-french war in the time of "Boney" (Napoleon Bonaparte).
It leaves just one question: "When are we going to see more?"
Buy it - you'll love it!
Each episode is loosly based upon the books by Bernard Cornwell, & although they have been 'downsized' for television, (regiments being portrayed by a handful of men etc)they still manage to draw you into the plot. There are a few inconsistencies between the books & the screenplays (Cornwell's Sharpe is a londoner whereas Bean's Sharpe is from yorkshire, yet in Sharpe's Regiment he also claims to have London roots) OK, so i'm nit-picking a bit, however these minor points in no way detract from the excellent storylines or the presentation.
The stories follow Sharpe on his quest to rise through the ranks and later for his revenge against his cheating wife. This usually involves a mission that only Sharpe & his band of men can complete, which of course they do, although not without the occasional casualty, which goes to show that no-one is indestructible, except of course, the gallant Sharpe! So, with the mission complete, the damsel saved (including the likes of Liz Hurley & Abigail Cruttenden) Sharpe makes it back to Wellington in time for tea & medals. Sean Bean is an excellent choice to portray Sharpe with his arrogance & hatred towards his fellow officers who hold their ranks & titles through financial means rather than the abilities that are shown by Sharpe on the battlefield, a comparison to todays forces perhaps???
All that is missing is a Miss Moneypenny & some fancy gadgets, then we would have a 200 year old 007! Thoroughly recommended for anyone wether you have read the books or not. Congratulations to Bean et al.
The boxed set itself contains 14 discs in a 7 box set.
Each disc has a single episode, a photo gallery showing screen shots from the episode that runs like a powerpoint brief & gives a quick synopsis of the film. There is also a section of 'Sharpe Facts' containing such things as the weaponry used, some of the battles & other historical facts. There are also tokens to receive a further disc.
Unfortunately my original set contained 4 faulty discs out of 14, but i am sure this is an exception rather than the rule.
