Why
didn’t more people watch The Musketeers second series?
It’s a
scenario akin to an end of the football season relegation struggle when
something unexpected happens and the team stays up after all. Thus it was that
mid- way through the on//off broadcast of the second series The Musketeers had a third confirmed
even though the ratings this year ranged from disappointing to disastrous.
Someone somewhere in a position of authority clearly likes the series otherwise
it would almost certainly have been axed. In this case though, unlike other
shows that suffer a ratings decline, the show is improving rather than getting
worse. Indeed it could well be that years from now this little seen second
season will be uncovered as a lost gem, something that slipped under the radar for
a number of reasons.
