Xena is Wonder Woman on steroids, and Lawless -- with her dark bangs, moon face, light blue eyes, and small, grim smiles -- plays the warrior princess with barely concealed delight.March 02, 2021
Lawless is convincing in the title role, and the action sequences are cleverly staged, making the budgetary limitations involving a giant cyclops, for example, almost an asset.March 02, 2021
Young fans of Hercules (and they are legion) will be delighted with this spin-off, but parents of those fans may be less than enthralled.March 02, 2021
Xena doesn't yet match Hercules in mixing the comedy and action elements.March 02, 2021
Played with a remarkably straight face by Lucy Lawless, a New Zealand actress, Xena is, in short, a Wonder Woman for our times.March 02, 2021
Offers viewers a refreshingly strong and independent lead character who's able to hold her own.March 02, 2021
It is camp, but it's also sort of good and we're suspicious that they're putting one over on us, so we want to keep an eye on it.March 02, 2021
If you ever needed an excuse to stay inside on a sunny afternoon, this is it.March 02, 2021

Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert... seem to have forgotten to instill Herc's good-time feeling in Xena.
