Xena: Warrior Princess S1-S6

Xena: Warrior Princess is a campy show aimed at an audience who enjoy seeing a leather clad and muscular Lucy Lawless and her sidekick Gabrielle in a mythical fantasy land based on Ancient Greece with over the top fights and action. Xena is a spin off series of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys; we follow the story of Xena a barbarian warrior who goes on to become a freedom fighter in order to find redemption and her friendship with Gabrielle who goes on to become an innocent and naive farm girl to warrior herself. The stories and scripts are full of cheese, some of the acting is horrendous and amateurish. The location shooting in New Zealand adds some interest as at least you know its not some Hollywood backlot. There are some life affirming sentiments on the show and Lawless as Xena standouts and there is no doubt she made the show a hit. However looking at this some years later it looks like bad thrash.
