After just seeing four episodes I'm enthralled. I was so sad when the fourth episode was over I went back to episode one just to get more of D'Artagnan. The fights are realistic, the acting is phenomenal, the comedic timing is spot on. Peter Capaldi is one villain whom you love and hate, and the king is arrogant enough to annoy but not so awful you wish him gone. Athos is dark, but you get to see his humanity. Porthos is hilarious, but you get to learn about his past. (It's historically fascinating and quite a new take on a hero of the time.) Aramis is handsome and aware of it, but there is still something of a priest in him. Lady D'Winter is beautiful and dangerous, Queen Anne is an idealist and I really enjoy their take on her. Constance is a little spit fire and the chemistry between she and D'Artagnan is very real. I definitely hope this series runs for a long time.
