Loosely based on the 1990 Luc Besson's flim of the same name, Nikita is a pretty solid action show with mostly solid spy thriller. Maggie Q is an inspired casting as Nikita; even though her physique is obviously lacking she's executes action scenes with gusto, and she carries the title character mostly well, most of the time though her sad sequences were meh. But you'll be able to disregard all of that because Maggie Q is very hot; she doesn't just look hot, her charisma and on-screen presence is hot. The other actors were also very competent; Lyndsy Fonseca is apt as Alex Udinov, Melinda Clarke is her grimy best as Amanda. But the best actors here are Xander Berkeley as Percy the Big Bad of Divison and Peter Outerbridge as Ari Tasarov as the Big Bad of Gogol. Both Berkeley and Outerbridge also give inspired performance as the evil that our heroes need to defeat, and they do it with charm and intelligence. For a popcorn action series, Nikita is worth it.

I went out to get a coffee and it said "nikita" on the license plate on the way there.I ordered a small. Got a medium, but change for a small.I barely drove back.cut off my circulation to my feet. I am tripping.Watch out where you get your coffee or just make your own.If you think I am joking, I am not.I need to figure out what they could have possibly put in there.I was not looking to get high, but it's nice to know there are people IRL there that put something extra in your food/drink.I need to detox ASAP.

Best show in history. finally we have a woman is the leading role, and Action TV show .Love Maggie Q and Lyndsey F and Shane west, Really good actress and actor.

I wish was more season of it. And I hope they can make a new ones.Maybe a movie or renew season, that's will be so cool. PLEASE BRING BACK NIKITA BACK

Nikita (Maggie Q) is a former agent who escaped from a secret US off the books agency called Division. She was a troubled teen who had her death faked, and trained as a super agent. Now she is trying to bring Division down by shining a light. Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is a new recruit in Division. Michael (Shane West) is the trainer, Amanda (Melinda Clarke) is a sinister head shrink, and Percy (Xander Berkeley) is the power mad head of Division.It's a reboot of a TV series that was inspired by an interesting French movie that was remade into a US movie. It's still has good ideas. Maggie Q is a bit wooden but she's good as a cool headed female Jason Bourne. Lyndsy Fonseca is super hot. The rest of the leads are all good actors. For a TV show, it has good bang for the bucks. However after a couple of years, the show got more and more convoluted. It's sort of the same thing that happened to other similar shows such as Alias.
