    The Musketeers (BBC series)



    The Musketeers is a BBC series based on the escapades of Porthos, Athos, Aramis, and... that other guy.

    Notably, the first season featured Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu, before he departed for a new job as a mad man with a blue box.

    Is anyone here watching this show?

    Just felt like another attempt to capture the same audience as Merlin (like Atlantis). And just like those former two, it seemed uninspired and trite with only an occasionally alright action scene.

    I still can't tell who is Aramis and who is Athos after two seasons.
    I know one is the brooding guy.
    And the other one is the womanizer, but I can never remember who has which name.

    I don't think I ever want to see another 3 Musketeers story.

    I heard they make quite a few changes from the novel.
    Would you guys recommend it? Or perhaps a different adaptation instead?
