Xena: Warrior Princess: Send in the Clones (2001)
Not as bad as I thought
This episode is not as bad as I thought it would be considering the rating on IMDB. It's dumb and campy but it can be reasonably fun if you approach it with the right attitude. There are certainly worse and more annoying Xena episodes IMO.

Didn't really work for me
I had a very hard time suspending my disbelieve and bying the whole concept of this episode. Way too many Chirstian-like Heaven and Hell teams are introduced a bit out of nowhere. As a result there's a lot of exposition - basically the characters explaining to one another the mythology and logic behind what's going on. It just feels awkward and cringy. This is something of a common issue with this show and in many cases the cheesiness of the plots can be overlooked or even be enjoyable butin this particular episode it's all just too much. It's very had to believe that the charecters are so familiar with this Chirstian-like mythology considering it's supposed to be rather new to their world and also that Xena and Gabirielle had just been in cryogenic sleep for 25 years. And Eve becoming and exorcist all of a sudden...
Having just finished watching it, I'd say it's one my least favorite episodes of Xena. The whole haunted hause/cheap horror film theme just didn't feel right to me for a Xena episode to be honest. I think it might have worked better on Hercules.
Still, there are some elements that I liked. The scene of Xena mourning her dead brother was good. Also, the costume of Mephistopheles looked cool.

Some of my favorite Iolaus comedy scenes
The main story arc is a pretty standard affair for the show and not that interesting imo but I'd say the episode is worth watching just for the scenes with Michael Hurst (Iolaus). I found them hilarious.
