In a retelling of Dumas pere's classic, law and order is more an ideal than a reality in 17th-century Paris. Athos, Porthos and Aramis are the best soldiers in the king's regiment but are far more than just bodyguards. Committed to upholding justice, the Musketeers face an on-going battle to maintain order. The trio is soon joined by feisty young swordsman D'Artagnan, who seeks the murderer of his father. Together they must protect against all forces determined to sabotage he Musketeers and their homeland.

Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/20/2019
2/5
The script lacked nuance, differentiating between goodies (brave, honourable, kind to cute children) and baddies (shouting, stabbing monks, robbing the dead) with all the subtlety of a trebuchet. Go to Full Review Isabel Mohan Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/11/2016
The show already feels past its sell-by date; just a bunch of silly little boys running around haplessly fighting for no discernible reason. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 05/31/2016
A swashbuckling (hard to avoid the word) romp that will appeal to anyone who has ever dreamed of adventure and romance, handsome beardy men with swords, and porcelain-skinned ladies bursting from bodices. Go to Full Review Rob Kemp Den of Geek 10/18/2018
With a little more daring this show could have been a jewel in the BBC's crown. Instead, I'll think back on it as ambitious, well-cast and with a handful of great episodes but rarely reaching its potential. Go to Full Review Claudia Connell Daily Mail (UK) 11/06/2017
3/5
As daft and unintentionally amusing as it is, when it comes to fun, escapist, glamorous TV, it can't be beaten. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

George K @RT70810130 Feb 18 I wrote a long post, but it failed to post. Here is the TLTR version: Seasons 1&2 were about 3.5 stars in my opinion. Not very realistic, but effort put in was there and acting was not bad. Season 3 took a serious turn for the worst. The writing for the most part, but a bit of casting silliness as well as a further decline in realism. We skimmed rapidly through episodes 5-9 and it was tiring even doing that. See more 06/06/2022 After Season 2's intense plot I wondered what S3 would bring. It amps up the carnage in a believable way and by Ep10 nicely brings all the strings of each story to a satisfying closure. I thought at one point they might be going for S4 but the very end is epic and feels like I've watched a movie. Sure I wanted more. But that's because this little series was so good. See more 12/28/2019 One of the best adaptations of the classic novel I ever seen. Need it more seasons. See more 07/19/2017 I'm terribly sad to see the show end. See more 07/14/2016 Sad to see this series end, but it was a very satisfying ending. See more Read all reviews
