Anyone watching? Does it follow the original or a total modern remake?

Only managed to watch it for 5 minutes before switching it off, the acting was abysmal.

I was excited when I saw the 17th Light Dragoons ride up, the British grenadiers form up, and Lord Dunsmore's Ethiopian regiment fall-in. But it was all over much too quickly, and I lost interest when the story moved on past the War.

With you ZOC, that other stuff is unpalatable due to the cardboard and sawdust masquerading as a real product.

I am boycotting because OJ Simpson did not reprise his role in the new version.

Never intended to watch it.

Well watched the first one. Didn't realize the king would have an Arabian mounted cavalry unit to join in all that thick forest and river land. If so maybe I will convert one for Darkest Africa. Was West Africa a muslim nation by the 1700's?

I guess the writers can't come up with an original idea for a series and have to do remakes. Will watch it streaming if I can't get to sleep one night.
