This show is a must see!!!! I cannot wait for the newest season. If you watch this you will not be disappointed. If you don't, you will be at a loss and doing yourself a great disservice. I wish I could find the actual outfits they wore. I been searching all over to find the right shoulder guard of Porthos(Howard Charles) from season 3. I would freak is I were able to get and have it signed by him. I would eve pay for it if I had to. Love these guys, love this show. Hands down, one of the best Musketeers group to hit the screen!!!!

This is the first Netflix series I viewed and I was glued to each and every episode till I finished watching all the seasons. A classic which has been made into movies many times which ended up to be either average or below average, this is the first ever series which gives due credit to Alexander Dumas' swashbuckling novel of never ending romance and adventure. Every character in this series was handled with extreme dexterity with great acting from all the actors. The action was at par with the best Hollywood movies. When the series ended, it left me with a heavy heart, thinking of what would happen to the Musketeers, why did this saga end, do we really have such heroes in real life sharing such beautiful friendship and loyalty, it was so well made that the entire thing seemed real. I wish BBC take up more seasons for this series with more adventures of D'Artagnan & his comrades. All the actors deserve a standing ovation for delivering outstanding performance.

So there are a number of reviews which outline stuff about the musketeers here, sexy men with swords, muskets, and a woman on each arm... Very nice, sure, but really the villains rule the day here. Season 1: The Cardinal. Peter Capaldi sets the villain bar very high. He is a deceptive, duplicitous, deceiving, and a lot of other nasty things that start with the letter 'D'. Man this guy is creepy. If I was ever powerful enough to warrant a nemesis, I would want it to be this guy. Seriously, Mr. Capaldi manages to make The Cardinal such a 3D character that you don't question it at all when he moves between "burn the world" and "make nice with your neighbors." The Cardinal's Dinner Party Rating: 5/10: Good conversation at the start of the night, loves a good debate, but will excuse himself prematurely to avoid uncomfortable conversations when the ladies are getting randy.Season 2: Rochefort. Marc Warren (whom I loved in Hu$tle) shows a good bit more malice here than he has in most of his previous endeavors... And Kudos! I'll admit that I was a little worried that he couldn't pull off quite the menace required for Rochefort, but his handling of Rochefort's growing obsession with Queen Anne settled that. Rochefort's Dinner Party Rating: 8/10: What a charmer! Jail stories, spy stories, and fighting-with-everyone stories... Smother all that in an obsession with the Queen, and he becomes the life of the party. Even I want to cuddle him, and I'm a married guy.Season 3: This time there's a trifecta of malcontents pushing back against the Musketeers. Rupert Everett, Matthew McNulty, and Matt Stokoe all deserve gold stars for their roles here. Everett as the Governor Feron is superb, both vulnerable and dangerously covetous. Stokeo plays the role of the ambitious yet somewhat circumspect muscle Captain Marcheaux, entirely believable through it all. McNulty lurks in the shadows as Grimaud, unpredictable and scheming above even the Governor, emerging only to strike like a snake at opportune moments. I was initially skeptical of this division of labor, but after a couple episodes of season 3, I wondered why it hadn't always been like this. Governor Feron's Diner Party Rating: 2/10: This guy has the charm of a dead tuna. This guy seems a stand-out case for why you don't invite junkies to parties.Captain Marcheaux's Diner Parting Rating: 7/10: He has the charm, when he chooses to use it. I would write more but my wife is calling me up to help with the baby.Grimaud's Diner Party Rating: 9/10: You wouldn't even know this guy is at your party and eating your BBQ until he was walking off with the prettiest lady in the room, even if she was your wife. Seriously, don't invite him because it can only lead to suffering. Your suffering.TLDR: The bad guys make this show. Sure the Musketeers are great and all, but really its worth watching just to see the baddies. Don't miss it.

"The musketeers" is the TV-show I'm currently most excited for the new season to start for. It is a great show because of the dynamics between the characters, which seems so much stronger than with any of the other adaptations of the book.Of course, the books have many adaptations, so there are some things that may irk those who've watched several of them. However, it is a TV series which allows for much more room to explore the characters than the movies do, which is great, because it is really lovely to find out more about them. I greatly advise anyone interested to check it out!
