Xena: Warrior Princess

Xena: Warrior Princess is a fantasy television series that premiered in syndication on September 4, 1995, and ended on June 18, 2001, after six seasons. The series focuses on Xena, a warrior princess who is determined to redeem herself after a dark past. She teams up with Gabrielle, known as the Battling Bard of Potidaea, to fight against evil Warlords and Gods. Xena: Warrior Princess stars Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor. This show is a total guilty pleasure. I’ve heard rumors that there is going to be a reboot. (eek, fangirl squeal!) There was also a spinoff series called Hercules, and the shows often crossed actors and even storylines. This show is on my list for the best shows on Netflix, I put on episodes like I’m watching it on syndication!  Xena and Friends are one of my fav shows to watch over and over!

Vikings

Vikings is a historical drama television series that premiered on the History Channel on March 3, 2013. The series features the world of the Vikings, as told through Viking Ragnar Lothbrok. Vikings star Travis Fimmel, Katheryn Winnick, Clive Standen and Gustaf Blagden. This show isn’t on Netflix unless you have the DVD plan.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, is a fantasy drama that premiered on The WB Network on March 10, 1997, and ended on May 20, 2003, after seven seasons. The series focuses on Buffy Summers, a young girl who slays vampires and demons to fight against evil. Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Anthony Stewart Head, Alyson Hannigan and Nicholas Brendon. This show is fantastic! If you haven’t watched it, you need to because there is totally an epic underground following for Buffy and the spin-off show Angel. Buffy The Vampire Slayer was also originally a movie, but IMHO the show was much better. This show is another one of the best shows on Netflix to watch. Stream away! 🙂

So lovelies, do you have any other shows you would add to my list of the best tv shows like Spartacus? What tv shows with warriors or gladiators do you like to watch? Tell me in the comments!

  1. These are all awesome shows and they are all so entertaining to watch. Spartacus has always been one of my favorites and it broke my heart when the first actor passed away.

  2. Not sure about Buffy, but classic Xena gets my vote as well! While I personally won’t mind teens watching the mature content of GoT and Spartacus, we must all be prepared for supervision. Good post!

  3. We have Netflix at home & I love watching different shows, but never watched Spartacus before. How ever I have watched “Game of Thrones” & I would love to watch the other recommendations as well.
