What's miraculous about
The Musketeers surviving? Sure, losing Peter Capaldi was a blow, but it seems to be holding together okay. At least, it's kept me watching.
As for
Atlantis, I haven't really missed it. It's gotten a little better in the second season, but it's tried so hard to distance itself from its first-season goofiness that it's become too action-driven and grim at the expense of the characterization and the charm it occasionally managed to muster.
The bit that always baffled me about the show was making the lead character from the present and then doing nothing with it.
Yeah, that was bizarre. Occasionally he showed a familiarity with Greek myths, like recognizing the name Medusa; but he was caught totally off guard by Circe, and didn't seem to recognize the name Medea even though his name is Jason. This season, they seem to be ignoring Jason's present-day origin completely.
The bigger thing that baffled me was why they called it
Atlantis at all. It isn't about Atlantis, it's about Minoan Crete, except on the mainland instead of an island. Sure, some think that Minoan Crete inspired the Atlantis myth, but there's nothing about this show that really justifies calling it
Atlantis when it's basically just a general Greek mythology series. Okay, we got a glimmer of prophecy about the fall of Atlantis in the season premiere, but that was no doubt a long-term plan that's never going to come to fruition now.
