Having watched every single adaptation of the Three Musketeers (and their sequels), I am highly recommending this Mini-Series. Had a grin on my face from ear to ear at the pure joy and exuberance projected in this adaptation. My criterion for a perfect movie/series is: Would I watch this again myself, not just recommend it to others? And the answer is: Yes! Knowing it must come to an end, I paced myself watching the series after the first episode, trying to prolong the experience as long as I could. I did not mind the minor diversions from the novel at all, treating them as a welcome new take on a classic story. Having watched 50+ adaptations (and this being the last one on my list) I fell in love with the Three Musketeers once again, after almost becoming numb to it all. I did watch it in the original Russian, so am not sure if anything has been lost in translation or voice over. Watch it, you will not regret it, nor will you forget it.
