The Musketeers

I think I may be in love

You have to watch and see.

Is it just me, or did Athos had a weird Eddie Izzard vibe going?

Yes I think she was Athos' love. I enjoyed it - lots of swashbuckling, bit of humour, intrigue and a dark side - perfect for Sunday nights.

Wow, a few gorgeous faces to take to bed and dream about.

I think Milady was Athos's lover, who he tried to kill.

She tried to kill him and he had her tried in court but she escaped and is out for revenge.

Well that was a load of old nonsense. Poor script, some poor acting (I liked Capaldi and Milady though). It felt like a Saturday tea time show a la Merlin/Robin Hood. Not a post watershed show.

Why did she want to kill him, Coffee?

Oh squoosh, don't be a spoilsport.

At least they are heavenly to look at.

Sod the story, it was just wonderful to look at.

Good question.
I forgot.

Or maybe she didn't try to kill him, but he definitely had her in court but she seduced the executioner and escaped.

It's been a long time since I read the book wasnt Milady de Winter blonde? There's a connection between Athos and de Winter but I won't spoil it

Nice bit of Sunday night easy viewing

That was good

Squoosh have you read the book? This is very much in the spirit I think.

Aramis - mmmmmmmm

Couldn't resist posting when I saw this in Actuve threads.

I concur, they are beautiful. I will be dreaming if Aramis tonight.

I quite enjoyed it.

That was brilliant

No one has grabbed my eye yet, I'll give it another week. I'm never offended by a period drama hottie.

It was pants though. It pains me that Ripper Street is unceremoniously ditched and then this is lauded as Original British Drama.

It's true though.
It did remind me of Atlantis and similar Saturday evening offerings, that's true, but I think I'll manage.

I'm with squoosh, I don't know if it is something to do with the way it is filmed, but I didn't enjoy for the same reason I didn't enjoy Merlin.

I am not sure what that is though so will have to watch again next week to dribble try and pin down what my problem with it is.

Just googled it Coffee - according to wiki Athos and Milady were married. He tried to kill her, because she wasn't who he thought she was-not quite sure why, and thought he succeeded. I don't think he knows she's still alive at the stage we are at.

Oh have I spoilt it-sorry everyone.

My memory is definitely not what it was.

I think they didn't really mask the relationship very well did they really so I don't think you spoilt anything.

Haven't watched this yet but was hoping it would be a replacement for Merlin/Atlantis to watch with DD (nearly 11). Is there anything untoward to explain its post watershed transmission time or is it just to oppose Mr Selfridge?

It's a little bit violent and there are a few bedroom scenes, pretty tame ones. I think it would be fine for an 11 year old, it has the same vibe as Merlin and Atlantis.

I may have forgotten a garroting or beheading so someone may be along to correct me!
