LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
SnoopyStyle It's ancient Greece in the times of the Olympian Gods, centaurs, and Amazons. Xena (Lucy Lawless) is a warrior trying to atone for a life of fighting. Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) is a small town girl desperate for adventures. She joins Xena recording their journeys in her scrolls. Xena loves to fish and fly a kite. They travel as far as China and India. They often get involved with Gods Ares and Aphrodite, the comical Joxer the Mighty, revenge-obsessed Callisto, Julius Caesar, and the monotheism of Eli.My favorite episodes are humorous especially with Joxer. This is solid adventure B-TV. There is plenty of fighting stunts. The use of historical and religious figures is a mix bag. Sometimes it's awkward rewriting biblical and other religious stories. The shows in faraway places can also get awkward. Staying with Greece and the Olympian Gods should be enough for this show. The best part is the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle. The show even plays with the homoerotic perceptions of the audience. The landscape of New Zealand is perfect for ancient Greece and it's a commendable production considering its limitations.
king149 Xena is a great great show! It provides humor along with a lot of drama. I watched one episode and I was hooked from then on. First and Second Season are mainly humorous with some dramatic elements, but it really isn't until the Third season when there are a lot of dramatic episodes. Xena and Gabrielle are best friends, and in the third season their is a rift between them. I am not going to say, for any of you who has not seen the show, and want to start watching it. It is a major rift though. Season 4 still has a lot more dramatic elements to it, along with Season 5 and 6 and season 6 being the final season. I think this is one of the most brilliant shows ever, with some of the most talented actors and actresses on television. Lucy Lawless and Renee O' Connor work well off of each other. Hudson Leick who plays Xena's nemesis Callisto for the first five seasons, only starring in a handful of episodes per season is pure genius. She plays evil very well.Ted Raimi who plays Joxer...he is just awesome! He does comedic so well, and honestly he is the funniest actor I have seen. Some people may not like this show, but do not knock it until you try it. Once you watch a few of the episodes you will be reeled in...I will say this, the season 6 finale is a shocker, and will make you cry...but you must watch all of the episodes from season 1 through season 6 to even get what the last episode is really about.May the Journey of Xena and Gabrielle live on forever!
ollieoxen27 Xena Warrior Princess was a fine serial adventure series from the eighties. Lucy Lawless played Xena flawlessly as a character revealing strength, determination, vulnerability, humor, and compassion. Thankfully the program didn't probe a possible intimate relationship between Xena and Gabriella. It was a family series with such topics left alone. Every week they rolled out new fascinating and often evil adversaries that were great to watch. If I remember back correctly there was even a Shakespearean or operatic episode but I may be mistaking it for another series. Gabriella was great reminding me of some girl from my past maybe a forgotten girl next door. They were ladies I wanted to spend good clean time with every week.I'd like to see a movie version with Olivia Wilde as Xena, and Allesandra Toresanni as a blond playing Gabriella. It would be lots of fun.
frickinfrak The best thing about XWP is that it is honest. Fans of the show know it to be, yes, campy and cheesy, with some over-dramatic sound effects and bad acting here and there. And the show doesn't hide from that. It owns it. And once you get past that, you begin to see more depth than you expected. Getting through season 1 can be a little rough. Its a low budget with mostly green actors, and you can see that in season 1. The trick is to get through that, and you begin to see these actors seriously come into their characters, and an amazing relationship begins to grow. If you are willing to keep an open mind and go on an adventure of love, action, and friendship, then this show is for you.Lucy & Renee made this show what is was. They are so different but the chemistry is amazing. The journey they made as actors through this series was tremendous. I have said for many years that television has been missing a strong female actress like Lucy Lawless. It is nice to see her as the manipulative & beautiful Lucretia in the Spartacus series.
