Xena: Warrior Princess (TV Series 1995�2001)

Creators: John Schulian, Robert G. Tapert

In ancient Greece, a time of mythical legends. Xena was a mighty female warrior, Xena once left her village and led a army of outlaws that terrorized the lands, and was a former enemy of the legendary hero Hercules. Xena began to regret what she had done and embarked on a quest for redemption. Joined by a young woman named Gabrille, Xena travels across the lands as she battles forces of evil, and would often do battle with her evil foes, the ruthless and charming Ares and Callisto, a warrior woman out to get her revenge on Xena for the death of her family and burning her village when she was a child. And Xena and Gabrille were on occasions joined by trusted friends wannabe warrior, Joxer and thief Autolycus. Seeking adventure and helping people, Xena's courage will change the world.

I won't spend too much time discussing Xena: Warrior Princess. Most of you know all about Xena and her little friend. Xena was another syndicated fantasy show from the 90's that was a spinoff of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

There are many of you out there that will say that this was superior to Hercules. In alot of ways I agree, but I'll stick with my opinion of enjoying Hercules a bit more. See my review of Hercules a few weeks back for more info there. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Xena too. It did get really good towards the end of the run, and who didn't fall in love with Hudson Leick as Callisto?

Xena is a hot warrior chick, and that's always awesome, but to be honest, I was always partial to her little friend Gabrielle. So, I recommend Xena if you've never seen it, though I doubt anyone out there hasn't seen it by now.

Verdict: Recommended
