Xena is a great show. It just takes on so many different genres, and gets away with it because it's so extreme. It's so self-consciously camp that it becomes genuine quality TV. Because of its campy nature it's natural for people to call it a guilty pleasure. I even guess it's a guilty pleasure of mine as well, apart from the fact that I'd at any given point wholeheartedly admit that it's one of my favourite shows. It's just so deliciously over the top - but it does it gracefully, and with an obvious sense of humour.
