Xena - Warrior Princess - Series 1

Customer Reviews:

complete at last.......2007-10-26

the season of the show on dvd that is, since it was released in two half box sets last time. For those of you who came in late: this is a fantasy show about xena, warrior princess out to atone for past bad deeds by doing good ones, and how she travels around with her friend gabrielle, a bard, doing just that. Often comedic in tone, tongue in cheek, and occasionally really rather serious, a hugely entertaining show.

This collects the entire first season of twenty four episodes, and has four a disc, and six discs in total. This does appear to be a bit of a rush effort, as there's no direct scene access, no blurbs on the box in regard to each individual episode, it contains a trailer from the company for 'tv classics to video' [and not to dvd?!?] and the only extras are two photo galleries.

but what the heck. the episodes are in the right order. and in one box set. so it's worth having.

mmm get the R1 boxset instead.......2007-07-25

I gave the new boxsets (uk ones) 5 stars just because its XENA and nothing else there are yet again no extras for the uk dvds so whats the point in releasing them again

i purchased all six seasons in collectors case plus the anniversary boxset (R1) for £90 from ebayy these are the far superior these r1 dvds have just about every xena behind the scenes and making ofs plus all other extras you can imagine

so go for the R1 dvds instead thats if you are a true xena fan

Excellent!.......2007-07-03

I have purchased this new edition of Xena:Warrior Princess Complete Series 1 and 2, and I am very glad that I did! The episodes are finally in the right order: the series 1 boxset contains all 24 of season One episodes, and in the right order! It is a delight to witness Xena and Gabrielle's adventures at the early years of their travels together.
Very recommended!

One of the best TV programs ever!!!.......2007-07-01

I did not watch this first time around on UK tv as could not get the channels that were showing it, however over the last 2 years I have collected the box sets and watched these but they are now quite hard to find so am glad they have released this version.

I would highly recommend this series as there are some excellent episodes, the main appeal to the series for me is Xena and Gabriell's relationship and how this grows and evolves through the series, there are 6 series all together and I've not yet watched the last, but have been told by friends that it is excellent. There are also some very funny episodes and some that will really make you think about life in general.

Another reviewer commented on the last box sets and how series one, volume I, had some episodes repeated on the volume II box set, I hope this is sorted as I have recently realised that I now have episodes missing, however watching it at the time I did not notice.

I hope you enjoy the hours of entertainment but make sure you have the next box sets ready as there are many great cliff hangers at the series finale, that you'll want to know what happens next.

Have they got it right this time?.......2007-06-12

Hopefully this is a new release/edition.
The older release had one huge major problem.
The episodes were put on the discs in the wrong order.
If they have fixed this problem i'll buy them all, if not forget it.
Ilove this show but i want the episodes in the correct order.

realistic but basic.......2008-01-18

Close to beginner level in self defence. Good audio and visual quality. Slightly slow and rambling as Mo mostly covers street conditions and pre-fight dialogue. This left little time toward the end for physical techniques. Overlap with work by Geoff Thompson (The Fence, Dead or Alive, Three Second Fighter) and Peter Consterdine's slapping style mean that there is little new here. He does explain something of his assessment on how much force to use for each situation.
