Musketeers. A good buckle of swash?

Enjoyed it immensely. But how did Whatshisface get down when he was hanging over a thirty foot drop by his finger nails?

I did too! Loved the costumes...OH said it reminded him of a western and I can see what he means. Something to look forward to next Sunday.

Actually, I thought I was going to like it but didn't. Very heavy on the background music for one thing. Might give it one more try next week.

I was looking forward to it but gave up part way through.

So 3-2 in favour of Musketeers so far,which isn't too bad. I much preferred it to Sherlock which I didn't like. I got the impression that Monsieur 'Hanging-by-the-fingertips' had jumped into the arms of his mates who just happened to come round the corner, or perhaps it was a couple of humble peasants. I thought Peter Capaldi's nasty, mean, devious representation of Richelieu was brilliant, and I wonder which of the Musketeers will be the dominant one. Hope the rest of the series is as good.

10 out of 10 for eye candy!! D'Artagnan in leather trousers- say no more.
Nice balance of humour & action. I'll watch it again & DH liked it too.
Prefer Sherlock but good Sunday night viewing- not too heavy.
Not sure how they will explain no Richelieu in next series if they make one now he in Dr. Who.

I think GrandmaH has just identified another reason that I wasn't keen, casting to appeal to the laydeees! Usual mix, brash one, sensitive one, etc etc.

DH watched and enjoyed, DS thought 3 year old son who wants to be D'Artagnon, would enjoy it, but not at 9.00pm on a Sunday night. I sat the other end of the room and read.

Nice bit of arm candy, but otherwise not for me.

Worth watching just for the outfits... I've been a sucker for those floaty blouses and tight trousers since Michael York et al.
At one point teenagers and I covered each other's eyes in case the naughtiness went too far, but it didn't, and we all thought it was quite enjoyable. Definitely one to wind down with at the end of the weekend.

It was only fair really, I watched the Midwives and OH kept his eyes shut. Then he watched The Musketeers and I kept my eyes shut. I do remember watching something similar with less gore and sex when I was a child.

I kept thinking of Dogtanion for some reason .

Having recorded Silent Witness and watching it yesterday afternoon, at least watching the Musketeers allowed me to go to sleep last night, only getting up and checking the doors were locked once during the night.

Does not appeal at all. Although I do agree with the eye candy comment.

I was enjoying Mr. Selfridge at the time.

I enjoyed the men and the fact that they stayed true to the book, with beautiful architecture, DBH&Son both enjoyed the fighting and the pretty women. We all enjoyed the humour. Something for everyone, I thought. Yes, I would have liked it if they had made a few more Sherlocks instead, but it was a good consolation.

Just watched it and I loved every leatherclad second of it
Bagsy me D'Artagnon!

Lighthearted to a point..woman being executed not such a laugh!

Dumas did it so much better.

Didn't know he'd made any tv programmes!

Not a bad effort so far. A bit heavy on the music (much preferred the Berlioz they used in the 1964 series) DH was impressed because they got the guns right! I don't think he's ever watched anything without complaining about the guns so this was a real surprise!

Loved Musketeers ! Just what I need on a Sunday night! It does the not so old heart good!!Can't beat a pair of leather trousers , a floaty shirt open to the waist, and a little facial hair! Roll on next Sunday! I need another fix!

Lona will you stop stealing all the best looking - it's a really selfish thing to do

I don't mind a swap or sharing kitty seems like there's plenty to go around!
