    It's out- there, but what would you expect from a show that regularly features truth serums, kill chips, and faked deaths?

  1. Being a fan of the first iteration of the show (La Femme Nikita), when I heard they were, for lack of a better word, rebooting the show, I was pretty skeptical - but the current iteration is one of the my top 3 shows of the past decade (at least) along with Burn Notice and most recently, Person of Interest. Very few show have managed to keep me thoroughly entertained throughout the course of each episode, but Nikita is one of them. The acting, script, fight-choreography and character development are all fantastic... I just hope that the show manages to get renewed for at least another season (or 3). :D Expand
  2. I think Nikita is the best show ever in The CW. It has the best actors and good storyline and I love it :)

    And if anyone has a problem with t
    hat please don't discriminate :) Expand
  3. Nikita is crazy action fun. Sure, it's not as well plotted and acted as other action shows like 24, but Nikita does deliver an enjoyable, fun show. Also, overlook the fact that Nikita is on The CW. No vapid twentysomething women on this show. Collapse
