"Xena: Warrior Princess" is one of those shows where either you cheerfully accept its goofy concept, or you just aren't going to get anything out of it, much like exec-producer Sam Raimi's "Evil Dead" films. My wife gets it, and my daughter enjoys the fact that Xena is a liberated ass-kicker. As for myself... while I never feel compelled to catch the show whenever it's broadcasted, as a fan of Raimi's early work, I personally appreciate his indelible creative stamp on the tone of the series: plenty of campy action scenes and dialogue, refusal to allow plausibility interfere with the fun, and stories that are compelling enough for the viewer to forget any issues of historical accuracy or realism (which is cheerfully tossed out the window on a regular basis). This 9-disc boxed set of the third season from Anchor Bay is also a huge improvement over the previous two, with better picture and sound, as well as a slew of extras fans are gonna love.
