Critics Consensus

Although The Musketeers' first season doesn't take many narrative risks, commendable character chemistry makes it a whimsically watchable romp.

Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 11/20/2019
The series was shot in Prague, and it should be gorgeous to look at, but instead, it's oddly gray and murky. The plot, involving truth, justice and the creation of modern France, is equally murky. Go to Full Review Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal 11/20/2019
What gives this new and notably updated British version of the classic tale its best kick, though, is the characterization of the four swashbucklers at the heart of it. Go to Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer 11/20/2019
Old-fashioned it may be in spirit, but this adventure tale is nothing if not exciting. Go to Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian 11/20/2019
The first episode is a bit overstuffed and murky, but "The Musketeers" gets better as it goes along, with charismatic performances and lively adventures. Go to Full Review David Benedict The Arts Desk 11/20/2019
2/5
It just doesn't have enough weight to captivate a modern audience that is perhaps more cynical and certainly more aware of storytelling tricks than any before it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Krystle B 12/23/2023 I really enjoyed this show and am actually giving it a second watch. The only thing that bothered/bothers me is the British accents where there's supposed to be French or Spanish, etc. It makes it less believable, but the stories are still great and the actors are fabulous. See more 06/06/2022 Season 1 is a fresh take on Dumas's original book theme of how the Musketeers were there to thwart the evil Cardinal and his plans for taking over France. Great chemistry by the actors and actresses help give the Season depth and lay the foundation for Season 2 which you'll want to watch. See more justin b 08/23/2021 A fun and enjoyable retelling of the classic story. See more The Wandering D 04/13/2021 Honestly, one of my favorites seasons of TV ever. This is so much fun and so well done. I absolutely love it. I highly recommend checking this show out!! The casting for this show is so good. I love love love the Cardinal especially! See more hila r 01/31/2021 loved it!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 10/23/2020 This is a bunch of straightforward good guys vs bad guys plot lines. Protecting King and Queen, dealing with villains with lots women to be saved, sword play and shooting of muskets and pistols. Protecting the innocent. Nothing ground-breaking here, although based on the characters and not not the plot of Dumas' novel. I doubt any historical accuracy, but Louis XIII, Queen Anne, the musketeers and Cardinal Richelieu were real people but stylish production and great looking cast make this entirely agreeable...
