- "In a time of ancient gods, warlords, and kings. A land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess, forged in the heat of battle... Her courage will change the world."
Xena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001) was the most successful TV show by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert's production company Renaissance Pictures, which also produced Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, American Gothic, Young Hercules, Jack of All Trades, and Cleopatra 2525. The company has stopped producing TV shows, but continues to produce feature films. Xena: Warrior Princess detailed the journey of the former warlord, Xena, who, after having been defeated by Hercules, confronts some of her life choices and decides to become a warrior for good. In the first episode she saves a young woman called Gabrielle, who eagerly (and insistently) joins Xena in her journey.
What followed were six seasons that combined high drama with campy adventure and stunning vistas with low-brow slapstick. Probably one of the more unexpected fan favorites lately, with its strong leading woman, in a time when The WB were establishing the teenage/young adult protagonist as its trademark.
