The Musketeers

Interesting having the 12th doctor in here as well. Looks good, will check it out.

I wish I got BBC1

Could be interesting, The three musketeers is one of my all time favorite books, so I'm always intrigued with new stuff related to it.

Also reminded me of an old adventure-game that probably slipped under everyones radar:Touch: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer for DOS (1995) - MobyGames
Not quite comparable to lucasarts or sierra quality-wise, but quite good if you like the mythos. Oh and full voice-acting, bad ass.

Two episodes in and so far so good. Whoever is the set designer does a fantastic job in the sets and picking locations.

Took me a bit to figure out who Aramis was since he was the only recognizable character and that's only because Merlin is still fresh in my mind. Only semi-complaint so far is that the women in the show are a bit lacking but can't always have anything.

Anyone else watch and like this?

Coming to BBC America in a month or two.

Its excellent, with surprisingly fantastic production values. It does take a few episodes to jump from "average" to "excellent" though. Its definitely not a traditional take on the Three Musketeers story though. Its a strange meld of classical swashbuckling 17th century France and spaghetti westerns. The heroes often wear stylized cowboy hats and dusters, and there is a surprisingly large amount of gun-fights (seriously, they must carry like a dozen hand-loaded pistols on them at all times).

BBC has been very pleased with it so far and are making it one of its flagship shows. Seasons of it will air in-between Doctor Who seasons. It is available at all the traditional torrent sites.

I'm gonna have to check this one out. I'm also going to have to go back and re-watch Disney's 1993 feature film. That movie was a goddamn masterpiece. An Oliver Platt and Tim Curry masterpiece.

I'm 3 episodes in and the show is growing on me. The potential for intrigues is pretty awesome, but the plot so far has been rather predictable and it's annoying when the characters don't see through it.


I hope there'll be a little more suspense going forward.

Ehh somewhat, few of the episodes turn into fight fests but the last two episodes really hit high notes.

I'm happy to see that it will be back.

Are there more than 10 episodes so far?

Nope season is over.

Little necro here - The season ended a couple of days ago on BBC America. Wife and I thought it was top notch! Really pleased with the cast as a whole, although D'Artnagan doesn't quite click to me and Lady de Winter bugs my wife. The Cardinal and Athos are spot on. Having the King being both a weak and strong leader gives it an interesting twist.
