About this show

Breathing new life into the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, The Musketeers is packed with action, adventure and romance. Set on the streets of 17th-century Paris, where law and order is more an idea than reality, the series follows the horse riding, sword-wielding Musketeers Athos, Aramis and Porthos. Far more than King Louis XIII's personal bodyguards, they ultimately stand resolutely for social justice: for honour, for valour, for love and for the thrill of it.

In many ways on par with Robin hood, average acting sloppy storyline and reasonable wardrobe and scenes. Main character is 2 dimensional. The main flaw of this show (common amongst BBC programs) is it tries entertain a large demographic and so it is occassionally cringe worthy and the butt of dad jokes. Bareable and not spectacular but better than the weather channel.

Sets and costumes are very good, as is the direction, but found it hard to relate to the main character which lacks depth and development. Story lines were also shallow.
