SWASHBUCKLING! I can't believe it took me so long to get to this season (also apparently the last season, sadly). I remember I loved the first two. Anyway, I enjoyed it. Things I love about this series:

The aforementioned swashbuckling
Friendship
Great characters / character intros
Quips and general hilarity
Over the top villainy
Gorgeous costuming. Amazing leatherwork and gowns. Hats! Side capes!
Fantastic architecture. I don't know where this series was filmed but wow
Athos is extremely Tired
The title sequence! I will use the skip intro button for a lot of series but never for this. I mean, I don't think Hulu gave me the option but I maintain that I wouldn't have used it regardless. The music just makes me really happy. And the rainbow color splashes. Random fire licking at the edges of the screen. Cape swirling. Ladies with guns. Porthos nonchalantly throwing a guy over his shoulder. The thing they do with color fill for the horses and with the swords at the end.
