Bernard Cornwell is an awesome writer. His Sharpe series is just pure adventure fiction catering to males. I haven't read any of his stuff covering earlier time frames, but I bet it's in a similar vein.
It's got to be almost impossible to adapt any of his work "for modern sensibilities" so it's unsurprising this show was a disaster.
He sounds a bit like David Gemmell
Highly recommend his Saxon Tales series.
The Saxon Stories he wrote are great, and the show they made out of those books (The Last Kingdom) was actually pretty good. An accurate portrayal of early medieval England, no diversity and very little wokeness.
I had to quit watching that when I heard "Uthred, son of Uthred" one too many times.
