Controversy
Xena: Warrior Princess dealt with a lot of controversies because of its depiction of Hinduism. The show had Greco-Roman roots but incorporated elements of other ancient religions as well. The show’s producers and directors would find themselves in hot water after doing that.

“The Way” episode interpreted elements of Hinduism, prompting showrunners to even add a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode to explain their intentions. However before the episode aired, controversy began as it was rumored that Xena beat up a Hindu deity. Also, they said that Lord Krishna was depicted inappropriately.
