As a poor student, there isn't much for life between the university work and the laying bed because you're so completely exhausted from the all-night work you condemn yourself to. But sometimes, there is a little bit of time during the day, where you say stuff work and curl up in bed and ignore the world. I believe they call it Netflix and chill. The TV series we allow ourselves to be immersed in is probably enough time to finish the coursework we are avoiding, but instead of making ourselves even more depressed by the workload, we step out of our world into a binge session.
I did this recently, very recently in fact. I start writing this ten minutes after finishing The Musketeers TV series. I decided to do this review because it is on the very small list of shows, movies, and books that have actually made me cry at the end.
I wanted to do this review to give credit where credit is due, the writers and producers of the show have done a brilliant job in capturing the characters and their personalities perfecting in a gritting time of France's history. Now I do not want to say anything o what is historically accurate, but let's face I am a creative writer, not a historian. But I do know something about writing.
When I first saw this programme on TV I enjoyed the first season. I am happy to watch anything with a band of brothers who enjoys their job, they fight for what it right, even if it doesn't seem like it to everyone else. There is not a second that goes on through the whole series that is boring or not action packed. From the first episode of the first season, there is action with D'Artagnan being attacked and his father being murdered in front of him. This is a brilliant start to what will become a brilliant show.
There are so many twists and turns the writers have taken. I have explored myself how to create comfortable plot lines for characters. It can be difficult to keep characters in line when they want to do something else, but I am delighted, no, elated to witness true characters and a truly happy ending that summed everything up perfectly in a nice neat bow to round of the series. It was beautiful ending no one could have written better if they had tried.
After all the death and turmoil that is seen through the third series it is only fitting that the ones who survived, some only by a whisker, they deserve an ending to be happy about. I enjoy a gritty horrible ending where everyone dies, just as much as the net person. But sometimes, there is a need for an ending that brings relief to your heart and I dare say it did warm the pit of my stomach.
The only thing I am disappointed about is that it has finished. I believe this is possibly one of the best-written series I have watched in a very long time. I have enjoyed following all four of the musketeers watching them develop into four men with wives, children, and something to be in good spirits about. After watching their world being torn apart from the seams, arrested, beaten attacked, shot and stabbed. It is hard not to go down the route of mass destruction, but the writers gave them a chance to rebuild everything and gave new beginnings and a new journey for their lives.
