It's worth it if you can view it with the mindset that it's intentionally silly/"camp". For a very basic comparison: It's in a similar style to shows like Buffy or Charmed, just more self-aware.

Although it has to be said: It was technically a spinoff from Hercules, and there are crossover episodes. But that show is not nearly as good, for a multitude of reasons. And it got to the point where Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) is still salty about how a lot of the crew went over to Xena. He has even accused Lucy Lawless on social media of "stealing" crew from his show. To which she just laughs and mocks him, like she regularly does when he says stupid things.
