New show on BBC America about, you guessed it, the Musketeers.
I figured I'd give it a try, as BBC has a few good series, ie, Copper, Ripper Street, etc.
Anyway, it to start, it wasn't terrible, but not terribly great either. I figured I'd give it a few episodes to see how it shakes out.
The other night I was watching the third episode, when some yahoo pulls a flintlock pistol, and holds it "Gangsta Style".
Jeebus! Who the *Expletive Deleted* do they hire for writers on these shows?
Yes, I immediately stopped it and deleted the show from my DVR queue.

I see the show has D'Artagnan as one of the characters.
His first cousin (paternal side) married the father of my paternal ancestor that came the US.

You said BBC, right? Is there anyone left in the UK outside of the military that knows how a firearm actually functions, much less how to use it???

Copper is more than a bit depressing. Makes one glad to live in modern America, I'll say that much.

Yeah, even the "good guys" are bad. I do enjoy the show though.

Yeah, but if you have a show on TV called or about "Musketeers" about 100% of the time it's going to be a Three Musketeer's adaptation or ripoff. ;)

But yes you are correct, Musketeers usually means something from Dumas.
