Lucy Lawless is Xena: a smart, tough, and fearless fighter who travels the dangerous roads of Ancient Greece defending the innocent from the forces of darkness and seeking redemption for her cruel misdeeds of the past. Along for the adventures is her devoted friend Gabrielle (Renée O'Connor), a compassionate girl who hopes to be a warrior one day, and other legendary figures, including the formidable Hercules (Kevin Sorbo).

One of the many TV products where tried and tested templates are mechanically repeated hundreds of times, only the setting changes, sometimes it can be sci-fi, others, like in this case, fantasy. The important thing is to have lots of commercial breaks, and the Xena action figures are bound to sell well too. Two interesting facts: there’s no Kevin Sorbo and feminists will be in seventh heaven.

Unlike Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena was quite watchable. It was second-rate fantasy, but it should be said that most of it was quite entertaining. But even so, a whole one star is mostly for Bruce Campbell as the King of Thieves.

I have to give this an on-average score, because some episodes in season one earned the full 5 stars. On the other hand, some of the episodes in the last seasons (how many were there in the end?) deserved somewhere around -2. They were just awful. Very long ago, Xena and Hercules formed an integral part of my day and I remember those days very fondly. Those were the days. Tears were welling in my eyes writing this review. Sniff.

A classic 1990s female series that greatly overshadowed its parent series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
