3/4
A pleasant pulp fantasy alternative to the sometimes stuffy philosophizing in the Star Trek mythos. Go to Full Review Michael Gaither Santa Cruz Sentinel 03/02/2021
While there is a beefcake and cheesecake element reminiscent of Baywatch, Hercules and Xena seem to be having a heck of a lot more fun than Pamela Lee Anderson or David Hasselhoff. Go to Full Review Arion Berger L.A. Weekly 03/02/2021
While the rather unimaginative series speckles its landscape with gods and goddesses, it doesn't bring to life truly Herculean adventures. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Matthew L 04/24/2023 Great show about legendary characters and creatures. See more 01/12/2022 I love this whole show. It really encapulates the corniness of the 90's. The pure goofiness and storytelling is so much fun. Also if you pay attention, this show was more progressive than others gave it credit for such as His distaste for slavery, unequal rights, racism and the ability to to showcase the beauty of BOTH men and women. Serisously watch the show and see!!! Both men and women are sex symbols. I just love it all. See more Read all reviews
