    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.

    While the series is not without humor--including the occasional sexual witticism--it is never camp, a huge plus for devotees of genuine drama.

    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.

    It's a little cheesy, but never takes itself very seriously.

    This lighthearted, thin import is worth a watch. [20 Jun 2014, p.60]

    A fine but unexceptional retelling.

    Hodges has done a good job weaving new plot twists and characters into the familiar story. The Musketeers may not be either the greatest treatment of the Dumas tale or the most revolutionary, but it is fun for all, and all for fun.

    For a show that has taken an exceptional care to recreate the costumes and streets of the XVII century; gun power muskets have unrealistic eyeFor 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. Sometimes I am confused if I am watching a Western. The script is nothing exceptional, but, we can still enjoy one of the best portraits of Cardinal Richelieu with Peter Capaldi.… Expand

    Do you notice how the Musketeers upon their costumes do not even have a cross on their blue uniforms the most distinguishable feature of their historic period uniform. Discounting! 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.
