XENA : WARRIOR PRINCESS SEASON 2 RATINGS
S.1 was indeed awesome, but s.2 made the show what it is today and what the next seasons capitalized on
If you forget that this season had an insanely disappointing and anticlimactic finale, pretty much everything else is amazing and admirable
The show took some very big risks and forunatelly almost all of they paid off
The acting and the characters continue to be outstanding (from the actors/actresses who have significant for the story roles at least) and the writing and production values have greatly improved since s.1
The lighthearted episodes are kind of a mixed bag, most of them are awesome and very entertaining (like ''For Him The Bell Tolls''), but some of them are very disappointing and too ridiculous (like ''A Day In The Life''). The serious ones ,though, are spectacular, with ''Destiny'' being one of the best episodes i have ever seen!!!!!!
Overall rating: 9.3/10
