If there was one moment to guarantee that The Musketeers would be absolutely missed from the television schedules in the months and years ahead, it was the reappearance of Maimie McCoy’s Milady de Winter, one of the strongest female characters shown on screen in years. Whilst the emergence from out of the shadows of the conniving assassin was brief, tantalising enough to remember just how much input she had in the lives of the garrison and the four musketeers, it was the big picture she was part of which showed just how much this romance between viewer and programme had blossomed.
