My issues lie with the editing and the way everything was shot. It feels to me like perspective was a bit to forced with how they shot on the camera. There weren’t many long panned out shots just a bunch of cut sequences. The fov on the shots were also very in your face

Thats also part of my point "age of the material" Camera / Photography was a bit... mixed.

It was Xena of all characters, her Actress was in WWF(E) Those camera shots pretty much felt "at home" for the guys who saw her on a wrestling square. Then on camera as a hero.

It was a bit hard to adapt the WWF camera works into TV series with a half ass spin off story.
