Amazon.co.uk Review

Xena--you gotta love her: after all, she could snap your neck just by straightening her knees. She sprang fully armed from producer Sam Raimi's head in March 1995, to flesh out an otherwise routine episode of the television series Hercules, a high-kicking, horse-riding, chakram-throwing ancient-Greek-warrior princess, who mustered armies the way some women shop for shoes, turning heroes against one another as gleefully as she laid waste to sweet little villages.

Except that somewhere beneath that straight dark fringe and hard-boiled leather breastplate lurks doubts, feelings, even a soul. She was so popular on Hercules her spin-off was an instant certainty--and pretty soon the subtext of her own series was unfolding. Xena is on a journey from evil to good, but this can only be enabled by the companionship of bossy redhead scribe/bard, Gabrielle, her constant friend. Set in a lush New Zealand doubling for the pagan Mediterranean, as misruled by Ares, Aphrodite, Poseidon and the rest of the Mount Olympus gang, Xena: Warrior Princess recounts these exploits, as the duo confronts gods, monsters, warlords, idiots and anachronisms, as well as their own flaws and desires, at the hilarious and sometimes unsettling mythological crossroads where touchy-feely Californian feminism meets high-camp chop-socky pantheism seasoned with the Way of Peplum Tao.

In the second series (first aired US 1996-97) Xena and Gabrielle (plus goofy sidekick the Joxer) meet the Fates, the (surprisingly Gothic) Bacchae, Ulysses, Cupid, Goliath, Santa Claus and (perhaps) the baby Jesus, as well as full-on Xena foe Julius Caesar and her former healer-mentor M'Lila. While filming this series, Xena actress Lucy Lawless was thrown by a horse on Tonight with Jay Leno, and injured: hence a sudden slew of swapped-body stories (Callisto, Autolycus and Gabrielle each have to mimic Xena for an episode), while domestic comedy and/or parody stories contribute to the medically advisable action-lite plotlines. Meanwhile, Callisto murders Gabrielle's hubby-to-be, and the narrative tension deepens. --Honey Glass

2.0 out of 5 stars Universal Playback unable to do a simple ordering, 19 Sep 2001
By rschulz@autolycus.de (Munich, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xena - Warrior Princess - Series 1 - Part 1 [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
Xena on DVD! That's what fans have waited for for years. Finally! The DVD Box includes 12 episodes of season one of one of the best fantasy shows of the 90's. Don't expect any extras! Picture and sound quality are quite good. The release is nothing special, if you already own the videos, you wont need the DVDs for any other reason than the digital format. So far so good, but Universal just did a big mistake in the episode order and thus should get the Stupidity 2001 Prize! The episodes where ordered by their numbers doing an ASCII ordering, so in the first box you get the following episodes:

1.1, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18, 1.19, 1.02

Congratulations Universal! Noone has ever done that before! You cant see the episodes in any useful order with that, you need the missing 8 episodes to even understand 1.10! Dough! Thats why I took 2 stars away from my initial 4 star rating!

4.0 out of 5 stars Warrior...Bard...Flawed?, 16 Nov 2001
By A Customer
First off, this set completes series one. If (like me) you bought Volume I without realising the episodes were all out of order then this will probably be a "must buy" just to make sense of the story arcs and referrals. Also like Vol. I there are no extras apart from a brief photo gallery on disc 3. That said the picture quality and sound seemed fine on my machine, and the box is the same sturdy packaging seen previously. With both sets you can watch the episodes in order, and to be honest I didn't find swapping the occasional disc a great hardship. Hopefully Universal will have picked up on this point for future releases, because for me the episode sequence was the only real gripe. I held off starting my Xena collection until these sets were released, and on balance I'm glad I did. DVD is a more robust medium and clearly the future (for now!), and although some more "extras" would have been nice, I principally wanted to watch the show, and for that I've found Vols. I & II a great (if quirky) start.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very cheap, no extras, and in the wrong order., 20 Sep 2001
This review is from: Xena - Warrior Princess - Series 1 - Part 1 [DVD] [1995] (DVD)
Well i've waited a long time for Xena box sets on DVD, and this is all they can come up with!

No extra footage, ie, outakes, commentry, cast/crew, interviews, nope NOTHING.

This could be forgiven, ( Do they know what DVD is for??) but to supply series one, in the wrong order, is a cult TV series crime, AND then its so badly edited that there are long moments of blackout where the breaks used to be.!

Guys take a look at what Buffy fans are getting on DVD and learn!

Emma Brown.
