Xena: Warrior Princess follows the title character as she seeks redemption for her grisly past.

Accompanied by her soulmate Gabrielle, The Battling Bard of Poutidea, they travel across Greece and beyond, righting wrongs and helping the hopeless.

The show itself incorporates various mythological creatures and dieties of Ancient Greece, as well as the gods and goddesses of many other religions, including Norse, Indian, Christianity and more.

The show is full of action, comedy, and supernatural suspense, great for all ages.

Gorse was an absolute delight! Atmospheric, dark, lots of fae, folklore and rich in 18th century Cornwall beliefs and attitudes. In Gorse, superstition, fae and religion collide - and the result isn’t pretty.

I loved all the fae: both friends and enemies, the power that the main character, Nancy, could draw from the land and the religious zealot who had a habit of messing things up by ignoring the true laws of the land (and those laws aren’t tied to Christianity).

Very enjoyable.
  
A former cold case investigator puts the skills he learned on his job to looking at the evidence for the New Testament.

It's an interesting take on things, and his logic provides some good insights at times. However, I also felt it was a little shallow at times. A good introduction if you aren't familiar with the subject, and the notes in the back provide more detail if you want to examine it further.
