    Having watched every Musketeers adaptation I could get my hands on, I can say this tale have enough new content and changes to keep you interested while respecting the source maetrial. The only thing I miss are bigger names on the cast. BBC rarely does a bad series, and this one keeps the tradition.

    Biggest pile of feces anybody could possibly watch, another BBC handout of utter """""""""

Whatever other attempts have been made at the notion of political correctness, in bids to mass appeal to every single type of audience, rather then actually get those historic settings correct. OH No, nobody else requires actual history. Without setting themselves into the pictures shown. Much better to attempt at romancing utter fictitious codswallop because this will generate numbers.

    For a show that has taken an exceptional care to recreate the costumes and streets of the XVII century; gun power muskets have unrealistic eye accuracy and sound like modern rifles, while single shot pistols are actually colt .45 revolvers, and the royal musketeers dress like wandering cowboys.

The script is nothing exceptional, but, weFor a show that has taken an exceptional care to recreate the costumes and streets of the XVII century; gun power muskets have unrealistic eye accuracy and sound like modern rifles, while single shot pistols are actually colt .45 revolvers, and the royal musketeers dress like wandering cowboys.

    Capaldi definitely carries the show in the earlier episodes but as the season progresses, The rest of the cast come into their own and become rather likable. Easily one of the better new shows to come out and definitely worth watching.

    It's a ho-hum procedural with a new story each week, but I like how the series strives for authenticity in setting and costumes.

    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.

    The Czech Republic location shoots convincingly suggest medieval France, but the episodes run an unwieldy 75 minutes long. Capaldi is terrific and commands the screen as if he’s on an HBO series while everyone else is in a cartoon.
