Xena S1 was crazy, crazy stuff. She was still quite an anti-hero(ine) at that point, before they went nuts with her in later seasons.
Is it good, though? What seasons should I avoid?
I think the first three years are all good, and largely safe. After that, I fell away from the series as they started taking themselves more seriously. I don't know if that would work for you or not, but it wasn't so good for me.
The Old Men of the bore are falling apart. :'(
Feeling much better today, thanks! Had a walking tour of Kyoto to celebrate.
On topic: During said tour, I bought a messenger bag made from recycled billboard materials. It's kind of cool, ripstop, water-resistant... Neato.
