XENA is a TV-series about a "forgotten" Greek hero, and was a companion series to HERCULES. While Hercules is a straightforward hero who nearly always does the right thing, Xena is a former warlord who longs for redemption but still possesses some of the savage characteristics that caused her to ruin other people's lives. An unusual choice for the hero of an adventure show; in fact her name is Greek for "the strange woman".

The show was bizarre for its sheer lack of consistency. For example, the afterlife: sometimes it was the Greek Hades, sometimes the Christian Heaven and Hell, sometime... read the rest.

This is a strong female lead in an action show that came out before 2016, so technically it doesn't exist and you aren't supposed to point out that it does, and that it was made before 2016.

And you certainly aren't supposed to like it.

Because that is just how politics work.

But for the rest of us, those that are sane.... man this was a lot of fun wasn't it? It's basically a kids show, well a kids show from the 80s and 90s made live action.

It's campy fun that you can enjoy even as an adult and who can really ask for more than that?
