Xena, a mighty Warrior Princess with a dark past, sets out to redeem herself. She is joined by small town bard, Gabrielle. Together they journey the ancient world and fight for the greater good against ruthless Warlords and Gods.
The mix of action, wit, and myth recalls Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But, whereas Buffy was a suburban girl saddled with supernatural burdens, Xena is troubled: gay, violent, and abused.
