The Musketeers has built a real following in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Stan, and in the US on Hulu and fuboTV among viewers who want their action grounded in something real. Every one of its 3 seasons holds up. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 210 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Luke Pasqualino anchors the chaos with real screen presence. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Musketeers is worth clearing space for. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives The Musketeers its staying power. Set in 17th century Paris, musketeers Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan are members of an elite band of soldiers who fight for what is just. They are heroes in the truest and most abiding sense – men that can be trusted and believed in to do the right thing, regardless of personal risk. Luke Pasqualino and Santiago Cabrera lead a cast that keeps the chaos grounded in who's actually at stake. Across 3 seasons (2014–2016), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

The Musketeers is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. If you have already watched War and Peace, The Musketeers is a natural next step. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Luke Pasqualino brings a physicality to the role that elevates every set piece. Action that earns its sequences rather than just delivering them.

The Musketeers wrapped up in 2016, created by Adrian Hodges — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
