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.
