I understand why people feel this way but...I guess I still have a great deal of affection and/sympathy for the child who watched and loved stuff. I remember what made me happy about it, and so not feeling that way now means I can either respect that (and love that I AM different enough to grow past it) and find a way to get some semblance of that joy back.

This is a really lovely way of thinking about this.

If it helps, Lucy Lawless is an incredibly cool lady and I will be endlessly grateful she gets to enjoy stardom and having her voice heard as a result of this show.

This. Lucy Lawless forever!

This is very sweet. As a kid who grew up watching Hercules and Xena (we watched it every weekend when a new episode aired), I started a rewatch some years ago and for the few episodes I did watch, it held up pretty well. I still keep the moments I had with the show as a dear memory, and now as an adult I can appreciate characters like Gabrielle a lot more. I also really like meadowphoenix's take.

My dad is a big fan of Xena and still watches it from time to time. He says it holds up pretty well.
I love rewatching things I loved as a child. I've never been disappointed going back to old shows.
I'd say give it a go, OP. (If anything, you'll be surprised how many people actually rocked up in Xena who are pretty big today :)).

I still watch Xena and yeah, some things don't hold up, but just the idea of a woman warrior who can do anything and is on a quest for redemption is still, I feel, so rare. And the show does it so damn well.

Also, I love it for the camp value, too. Also the queer stuff. Also Lucy Lawless is an amazing person.

I hope the magic of the show will still resonate with you, OP!

I did a rewatch recently, and if the Xena/Gabrielle relationship is what you're there for, I am pleased to say it absolutely holds up. Some of the plots absolutely not, a lot of the other characters, no, and the special effects were never good, but honestly, the Xena/Gabrielle parts are 100% worth watching for even now.

Have you tried starting with clips on youtube? I find they're a good place to dip your toe in, and you can nope out far more easily than when you've bought or downloaded whole seasons or even episodes.
