Porthos: You believe me?
Treville: Porthos, you’re the only good person in this place. I'd believe cartoon birds braided your hair this morning

The Music of The Musketeers
Part One: Title Sequence and Closing Credits
[I know, I know... I'm terribly late to this party (only managed to watch in Dec 2022 despite having known about it since 2014) but thanks for allowing me to share this with you! 😃]
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ♭ ♮ ♯
There's a whole lot to love about The Musketeers, especially the cast 💕, but the MUSIC is definitely near the top of my list. It was a treat to get a title sequence from this epic series as they are pretty rare these days.
♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ♭ ♮ ♯
Series One
Ryan Gage having no direct corresponding image is minor compared to Hugo Speer, whose sequence only consists of a silhouette with a shiny fleur-de-lis. I know Treville all but formed the Musketeers here but c'mon! 🤦♀️
Also, check out Athos' smirk around 0:15, lol.
Series Two
Still no corresponding sequence for Ryan Gage but hey, at least we can now see Hugo Speer. Progress!
Series Three
At last! Everyone has (more or less) their own sequence, although Aramis popping out from behind Athos at Tom Burke's credit cracks me up each time. Perhaps it's keeping with how Tom is introduced throughout the series but I prefer to think of it as a validation of what we all know, that Athos and Aramis are #two sides of the same coin! 😆
I also liked how they sequenced Matthew McNulty's credit here. And they replaced the silhouette of the three (and not even the original three musketeers) raising their swords/rapiers together with one showing all four of the boys. About time! #the inseparables
This video has the closing credits as well, but I'm just here for the music. 😬
Final Thoughts
How great is that (most?) British (Merlin, Miss Scarlet and the Duke) and Canadian (Murdoch Mysteries, Hudson & Rex) series still have title sequences? Oh, have a listen, if you haven't yet, to the title theme from Star Trek: Picard Season One. #pretty good
Next: The Musketeers' Theme
