"Superb"

By jack756, Dec 05, 2011 Report Abuse

xena was at first a blood thirsty killer but one day she found a baby(all this in the hercules show but it retold in this show as well).her men wanted to kill this baby but xena save the baby.xena was beat b/c of it.
thats when xena decide to change her life around.
xena used her skills to help others in need.on her journey she meets gabriella(renee o'connor) who helps xena on her mission.gabrilla wants to become a warrior princess just like xena.xena is like a mentor to gabriella.
xena soon meets more friends who are willing to help her on her new mission to save others.
lucy lawless does a great job at all her stunts.
the writing is really good,but the rating would have been higher but when the show first started the writers didnt know actually what to do with the show but it changed over time.(the show lasted 6 great seasons)
the action scenes are just great.go lucy as xena:)
the acting is very good and i love how lucy portarys xena.
other than the fact ,the writing took a while to get really good.i say give this show a try the action good,the writing gets good,and its just a fan fantsy show.moreless

A "good guy goes to prison for past misdeeds as evil doer" episode crossed with "good guy goes to prison for a crime they didn't commit" episode. Xena is the person who goes to prison, Gabrielle tries to get her out. Nothingmoreless

"Good"

By oab_x, Dec 05, 2011 Report Abuse

Fairly typical "good guy who used to be a bad guy goes to prison for bad guy deeds and needs to prove that they are now a good guy" crossed with a "good guy is imprisoned for a crime that they did not commit"

In this case, it is Xena, not a minor character (as the show has done already).

A fairly simple "by the book" episode with no major surprises, serviceable without being great. Decent filler, nothing more.

Xena is still trying to atone for her past misdeeds and thinks life in prison is the way to do it (since this is not the end of season 4, you know already she won't spend more than the next 40 minutes behind bars), however bad things will happen to her, and good things happen to bitter people making them less bitter.

Mostly weighed down by the fact that it is entirely unoriginal.moreless

Exploring the possibilities, if only there was an adult version to look into the sexual tension between gabriel an xena

"Fair"

By barrymead29, Dec 05, 2011 Report Abuse

Throughout there are the occasional kisses the long glances the hand holding the "spark" that if set between a male female duo would lead us to believe there is a romantic interest on the parts of the two characters, however is that the case in xena? i think its deliberate made this way i mean leather bound dominatrix with naive young girl, come on its just a blatant exploitation of sexual perversions to retain a predominantly male audience and i am not in the least ashamed to say that at the time it was more for lucy lawless than xena that i watched the showmoreless

"Perfect"

By KiaOraDude, Dec 05, 2011 Report Abuse

Friendship and love are the heart of this show, in spite of all the action, adventure, and sexy ladies in short leather skirts. For six years Pacific Renaissance gave us laughter and tears, and introduced us to one of the hottest new faces in TV history in the incomparable Lucy Lawless, as well as the delightful Renee O'Connor. The only thing wrong with this show is that they ended after six seasons, rather than going on with it for many more glorious years. But with all six seasons released in DVD, at least true fans can revisit every classic episode at their heart's content.moreless

Xena: Warrior Princess is a spin-off series to Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. It is essentially about a female warrior who is trying to make up for all her past deeds as a warlord by taking a journey across the earth, doing good. Xena: Warrior Princess is by far one of the best shows I've ever seen! For years it has had a major impact on the portrayal of heroines on Television. Without Xena, television wouldn't be the same because without it, television would probably still be a man's world. We wouldn't have tough women like Rizzoli and Isles, Buffy, or the Charmed Ones from Charmed. It really broke through barriers and leveled the playing field for female heroes on screen.moreless
