The Musketeers "Trial and Punishment" Review (Spoilers!)

3/30/2015

 
Picture

It’s only Aramis on trial in the season two finale of The Musketeers, but everyone’s about to get punished – generally by death, because Rochefort’s on the rampage. Last week, it seemed like everyone was doomed to die, so could the Musketeers save Constance, Aramis and the Queen from execution, and expose Rochefort’s lies to the world?

The Musketeers "The Accused" Review (Spoilers!)

There is a downside to the traditional way of watching TV, waiting until a specific time for each episode. With The Musketeers, we’ve seen it get pushed back several times for rugby, football and Comic Relief, and now, in the UK, we’ve got to wait a whole week for next week’s conclusion to this thrilling episode (those darn Americans are fine, what with BBC America). In “The Accused”, we got a perfect penultimate episode, well-paced and exciting as it tied together loose threads from the season. Basically, they’re all gonna die.

The Musketeers "The Prodigal Father" Review (Spoilers!)

3/9/2015

In the first season of The Musketeers, one of the best things was Porthos. Howard Charles might have been the least well-known actor out of the four, but Porthos was fun, loyal, and deep when it mattered. He got all of the best lines and the episodes that centred on him were some of the best. Which is why this season’s Porthos-lack has been keenly felt, and it seemed like “The Prodigal Father” was going to redress the balance. Sadly, this wasn’t the most scintillating storyline, at least until the last five minutes of the episode.

The Musketeers "A Marriage of Inconvenience" Review (Spoilers!)

3/2/2015

The musketeers are under orders to protect a royal princess so she can be married off in a peace treaty with Sweden. Sounds like an ordinary day at the office for our merry band (seriously, do the other musketeers ever get to do anything other than stand around in the garrison?), but that’s before there’s assassination attempts galore on the beautiful princess’s life. Can they figure out exactly who’s behind the attacks before it’s too late?

Just about, once they manage to navigate the twists and turns of this episode of The Musketeers.

The Musketeers "Through A Glass Darkly" Review (Spoilers!)

2/23/2015

 
Picture

If you were to watch this episode of The Musketeers on iPlayer, you’d be warned beforehand that it’s only for over 16s, due to its disturbing imagery. And they mean it, with this episode’s plot seemingly ripped from a horror movie, featuring a psychopath’s deadly coin tossing game and more deaths than a trap in Saw.

The episode started innocently enough, with Louis playing with the Dauphin, embarrassing Anne and educating the court, all with one demonstration of the upcoming eclipse. Then Rochefort invited the court to view the eclipse at a local observatory, which turned out to be the worst plan ever as their host started killing people left, right and centre, forcing the king to choose who to kill and playing games with the lives of the courtiers.

The Musketeers "The Return" Review (Spoilers!)

The musketeers might be known for their stylish headwear and their faithful horses, but who else has those exact same qualities? That’s right. Cowboys. That might be a tenuous link, but in this week’s Musketeers episode, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled upon The Magnificent Seven. In a dusty, abnormally sunny village in the French countryside, Athos must face his past and responsibilities, face down the evil men trying to steal the land, and somehow turn the local villagers into a fighting force to defend their homes.

The Musketeers - Apple Store Event

It’s safe to say the atmosphere was full of excitement and lust as the cast of BBC’s The Musketeers took to their seats at the Regents Street Apple Store on Wednesday 21st January. As the second season of this swash buckling period drama is well underway, we were lucky enough to here the main casts thoughts and feelings on how the show is going so far.

The Musketeers "Emilie" Review (Spoilers!)

2/2/2015

 
Picture
by Helen Langdon

After taking a week’s break last week so that BBC One viewers could watch Manchester United do badly in the FA Cup, The Musketeers were back to deal with issues of faith and mob rule. It all went a bit Joan of Arc as prophet Emilie told the people of France that it was their destiny to rise up against Spain and depose the antichrist King Philip. With Spaniards brutally lynched in the streets of Paris before the opening titles, it was easy to imagine that this was going to be an episode full of violence and action.

The Musketeers "The Good Traitor" Review (Spoilers!)

1/19/2015

 
Picture

The poor musketeers on The Musketeers: even when there’s multiple unconnected storylines in one episode, they’re still barely involved. And with so many things going on at once, no-one really had time to talk to each other, so no-one could warn the king against taking Milady as a mistress, or tell Constance that kidnapping the heir to the throne is a bad idea no matter what your motivations, or give Rochefort some romantic advice. This week, it was all about the side characters, with Porthos the only musketeer who got to do anything other than punch things.

The Musketeers "An Ordinary Man" Review (Spoilers!)

1/12/2015

 
Picture
by Helen Langdon

In "An Ordinary Man", it was time for Louis to do his "going secretly amongst the people" routine, a rite of passage all kings of note must endure. But of course everything went wrong, because otherwise there wouldn't be an episode. Kidnapped with d'Artagnan to be sold into slavery, it was time for Louis to actually listen to the common folk and see how little his rank means in the real world. Would that lead to a change in worldview, causing Louis to become a wiser and gentler king? Not so much.
