2001. Republicans let 9/11 happen to line the pockets of military contractors (and themselves) and everything became grimdark to reflect the never ending quagmire or terrorism wars that retarded republicans (especially florida) dragged western society into.

It didn't and it hasn't, for me. Though I would very much like some tits and ass sword and sorcery silly bullshit to come back

Every episode is designed as a self-contained movie. It's the epitome of episodic. All of the ongoing story arcs are just background noise

The first two seasons were filmed with 16mm cameras which give them a dark and murky look. And most of the guys Xena fights only grunt and moan because if they had actual lines they'd have to pay them more. They accomplished a lot considering the low budget though

this is the moment when tv shows became good, before that you had mostly schematic shit where every episode was identical and the only good stuff were miniseries (mostly brit)
