Mom and I just binge-watched BBC's The Musketeers, and it's our new favorite show. it is such a joy. every episode is amazing storytelling with heart, humor, action, adventure, intrigue, romance, chivalry, and camaraderie. and we love all the characters. i can’t even pick a favorite because all 4 Musketeers are charming, courageous, complex, and handsome, in different ways; while all the ladies are beautiful, kickass, and real, with unique stories, personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and so much more than love interests.
the direction/cinematography/coloring is gorgeous, from the lovely costumes and well-choreographed (and well-edited) fight sequences, to the beautiful Czech landscapes and splendorous Prague palaces. it has everything i love about historical fiction: honorable romantic heroes/heroines, affairs of state, affairs of the heart, grounded in history but updated with modern sensibilities, and tied together with emotion, underlined by the A++ music score.
can't wait for Season 3 this year!!
Musketeers has one of my all-time favorite opening credit sequences. i love the design, imagery, and colors and how it matches the dynamic, catchy theme song and adventurous spirit of the show. wish BBC would release the rest of the soundtrack. the show has beautiful and exciting themes.
