This show could get pretty anachronistic in parts, and some of the mythology was really messed around with, but what the fuck, it was a fucking fun show and was one of my first forays in the wonderful world of mythology as a kid. Hell, there were even fansrvice episodes and a couple of present-day episodes where Xena and Gabrielle were resurrected. I do wish the finale could have ended differently, but it was still an overall fun show.
Hercules saves people by fighting monsters and villains.

Very formulaic, and often painfully bad, but, with the exception of two or three episodes, it's always fun to watch anyway. And of course it kicks off Xena: Warrior Princess.

GPA: 1.3/4
A time traveler fights zombies in medieval England.

2.5/4 (Okay).

The action and horror stuff is awful, and only works when it's funny. The comedy stuff can be pretty good, sometimes.
Watched the first two episodes. Well-made and fair scripting.
Can see why my kids (teen boys) liked it, but it didn't hold my interest.
(Reading dates are approximate.)
