Xena: Warrior Princess on Blu-ray/4K

[Shane Rollins]

Am I the only one who wants Xena: Warrior Princess on some HD format? I just picked up the complete series from Universal and it leaves a lot to be desired. The DVDs are compressed to all hell, and the quality is average at best. While Seasons 3-6 look good by comparison, Seasons 1 and 2 look awful. The first two seasons were shot on 16mm, and are desperately in need of a complete overhaul. Seasons 3-6, which were shot on 35mm, could still use a restoration, but they’re nowhere near as atrocious as the first two seasons. I don’t have any of the older VHS or DVD releases, and I can’t vouch for their quality or lack thereof. All I know is these DVDs suck and could be greatly improved on.
