I am a big fan of all Musketeers related adaptations. However, it was refreshing to see the characters in the spirit of Dumas's novel, but with new story lines rather than the original story which in my opinion has been done to death!
Having watched the first two episodes, I have been enthralled and entertained. The acting is good and each character is already forming with a ladies man gentleman Aramis, a slightly misanthropic Athos, Porthos, brave and strong and loyal, heroic D'Artagnan.
Also of note are Milady and the Cardinal, who is a character more loyal to his motivations in Dumas's novel, rather than just being an out and out villain.
Nice detail in sets and location and a modern twist on the swashbuckling. A lot better than some of the recent Hollywood adaption. (Which would not be difficult though!)
8/10.
