You may well know this already, but the 2002 "Shackleton" miniseries starring Kenneth Branagh is a pretty faithful dramatisation of Alfred Lansing's book. Well worth a watch if you can get hold of it.
For those who can access it, the Channel 4 drama with Kenneth Branagh is still available for free:

"Shackleton's Captain" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1730698/
"Shackleton" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272839/
I also recommend "Shackleton" [1] as a good drama with a quality cast that tries to keep as close as possible to Alfred Lansing's book

There is a TV mini series[0]. I was excited to watch it but was quite disappointed. The hardship shown doesn't even come close the actual hardship described in the book Endurance. I almost felt like it was an insult to Shackleton.
