It sounded great in my head, but god this is awful.

Anyway, the chap is already in a series as a recurring character in Babylon Berlin. Which is already epic, but there's just not enough of him.

And he was responsible for insisting on having a purpose built mobile crime-lab attached to his department, a sort of crime-fighting bat mobile, a converted Daimler-Benz limousine, nicknamed "the Murder Car".

He also stressed to the detectives working under him that if they had to resort to beating a confession out of a suspect they'd failed in their duty, which I like.

Not least because he was very modern in his sensibilities, pioneering forensic science, leaving crime-scenes intact, using psychology, and he was involved in the most famous cases in Germany at the time.

It's Chopper! Great flick! xD

Not making it hard for them, perhaps even too Eze.

These days, you can just open an app on your phone, and wander around your walk-ins and store rooms, which has cut the time in half, and reduced waste by a good amount.
Also, I can order stuff with the company account from the comfort of my home, it is a joy.

Its like opening a fridge with rotting produce in it, you can immediately tell something is off.

The repercussions of that are difficult to get your head around. Who the hell would've played 006 in GoldenEye? Sharpe lead directly to that.

ALSO! Paul Bettany has a star turn as the Prince of Orange, all haughty airs and bumbling incompetence. (Disclaimer, the actual Prince was, in fact, quite competent and far less funny).

Men are dirty, sir, rifles are clean.

And the show has my favourite ever morally dubious semi-protagonist in Captain Leroy, a loyalist American from a very wealthy plantation owning background that tries to look after Sharpe. Great Southern drawl, dubious moral background, excellent actor.

There's a great semi-recurring gag where Harper (Sharpe's initially reluctant sidekick), upon meeting incompetent English soldiers and officers drily quips: "Send them to Ireland, we'll be free within a year". Which was funny even before I understood what it meant.

It had a tiny budget, of which most was spent on the cast. Big battles tend to be a few dozen extras running or riding about on a dusty wasteland, but that's all part of the (considerable) charm.
