If you were watching TV in the '90s, then "Xena: Warrior Princess" is probably burned into your memory, with its epic action sequences and impressive feats — all done with a minimal budget. The series was a gamechanger, and it remains a cultural touchstone more than a quarter century down the line.
While the fight scenes were great, those who became fans were more often than not pulled in by Xena's complicated character arc (https://www.looper.com/775660/questionable-things-we-ignore-in-xena-warrior-princess/), which sees her struggling to overcome the sins of her past. Having made her debut in "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" as a dastardly villain, Xena has a lot to make up for, and this series walks us through it, starting with day one. This is one redemption arc that never lets its protagonist off the hook as she's still making up for past wrongs, right up to the very last episode of the series.
But considering the number of people working behind the scenes, the demanding shooting schedule, and the loose approach to history and mythology, it might not come as a huge surprise that this is a series that left a number of unresolved plotlines in its wake. However, each dangling thread inspires us to look back at the series once more, and truly, you can never go wrong with a "Xena" rewatch. So prepare for the power, the passion, and the danger as we look at the show's biggest unresolved plotlines.
