I waited this pilot with great anticipation, but in the end i was left disappointed. The atmosphere was good and the costumes looked nice enough and that is why i am gonna give this show another chance. BUT the plot was very badly written with nothing unexpected. The screenwriters should know that they have to face an audience that watches many years now series about lawyers, detectives and genius doctors. That means the audience can actually think a little deeper. It means it is hard for us to accept the fact that when someone walks around town committing crimes and naming himself Athos, no one in court is wondering ''why does he reveal his name?'' . I kept waiting for someone to ask it. They have an eye witness who confesses that the accused's clothes look the same with the criminal's and they all seem convinced. what about the face? what about the voice? is this how someone gets convicted and killed? Besides that, i still have some doubts about certain members of the cast and certain twists and i am not quite taken with D'artagnan himself. That could change in the next episodes though. All in all, not a great star...
