Very soon after discovering that all 6 seasons of one of my favorite childhood shows- Xena: Warrior Princess are on Netflix, I decided to marathon and watch the whole show start to finish.
If you don’t know what it’s about, the basic premise is that Xena is a legendary warrior from ancient Greece who is seeking redemption from her evil warlord ways. She commits herself to travelling the world to do good deeds and defend those who cannot defend themselves. She quickly meets the young Gabrielle, an enthusiastic bard with a passion for telling all of Xena’s heroic deeds. Together they embark on a 6 season journey, battling many foes, not the least of which are warlords, most of the Greek Gods, Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, Amazons, Centaurs, an evil shamaness, the warrior Callisto, and several embodiments of evil incarnate. There is no better ancient crime fighting duo. It’s one of my all time favorite shows, and here’s 17 reasons why.
