I really feel like Xena: Warrior Princess should be even bigger on here than it is. Like, there's a fantasy-action-adventure-comedy show based around Greek (and, increasingly, other) mythology, and the main character is a former warlord who's only just woken up to the error of her ways. Her name is Xena and her favourite things in the world are fighting, fishing, horses, and booze flamethrowers. And then she meets this woman Gabrielle, who is all the things that Xena isn't: sheltered, optimistic, excited about the concept of experiencing the world, and above all a deeply good person. And they start traveling together, so now Xena's favourite things are fighting, fishing, horses, booze flamethrowers, and Gabrielle, not in that order.
They go on adventures, encountering monsters and greek gods and people Xena knew ten years ago. And also sometimes pirates, vampires, and various incarnations of Jesus. In the meantime, Xena struggles with what it means to try and redeem herself after doing incredible harm, Gabrielle grapples with what place violence has in her life and her identity, and the two of them (at least, implicitly) fall in love. Also, the show experiments wildly with both form and content, doing things like a mockumentary episode, a modern timeline where Xena and Gabrielle are historical figures, and various musical episodes, bodyswaps, clip shows, and alternate timelines. The only thing that's always consistent is that Xena and Gabrielle are soulmates. It's goofy, awesome, and basically tailor-made for tumblr's userbase, and you should watch it if you haven't.
