-
A well-acted romp that carries just enough weight to justify tuning in, The Musketeers is a campy delight; no one ever hands over a blade when tossing one with a flourish will do, and this time, that’s just as it should be.
-
Refreshingly realistic in some ways (there is much jumping out of high windows, but the jumper is often actually injured) and soothingly romantic in others, "The Musketeers" is a captivating balance of spectacle and story, true enough to the essentials of the original, modern enough to understand the necessity of humor and self-reference.
-
While the series is not without humor--including the occasional sexual witticism--it is never camp, a huge plus for devotees of genuine drama.
-
The adventure is good, the characters are better than good, and the playful, often insulting repartee is someting you might hear from college buddies on holiday in Cabo. These Musketeers are worth a bite.
-
Old-fashioned it may be in spirit, but this adventure tale is nothing if not exciting.
-
[The episodes] sequentially get better and deeper, with the tragic back stories of Athos and Aramis fueling hours three and four.
-
The Musketeers is an old-fashioned reinvention that is faithful to the spirit of the novel even as it changes the words.
-
It's a little cheesy, but never takes itself very seriously.
-
This lighthearted, thin import is worth a watch. [20 Jun 2014, p.60]
