it's very deliberately silly. and it's fun as hell. i watched it as an adult a couple years ago and to me it surprisingly holds up. the characters are enjoyable in a campy way, the actors are charismatic, the ideas are interesting (certainly more so than Hercules), and the action scenes—while clearly suffering from a limited budget—are actually top notch in concept. they were taking all their notes from hong kong action movies and it shows. they even nod to it by eventually taking xena "back" to the show's version of china.
Cool, I'll give it a go then I think. My wife also grew up with it so it might be a good nostalgic way to connect over something "new". 😄
