When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who trained her as a spy and assassin. Nikita was eventually betrayed by the only people she thought she could trust. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former boss, Percy and her former friends Michael and Birkhoff that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation. Division continues to recruit and train other young people, among them Jaden and Thom, erasing all evidence of their former lives and turning them into cold and efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex is a beautiful girl with a violent past and a story not so different from Nikita's. The recruits all spend part of their training with Amanda, a master manipulator who can turn any ugly duckling into a swan and any bleeding heart into a killer. Written by CW Publicity
Absolutely loved this entire series and subsequent ones. ALL the characters are brilliant from the broody looking Michael to the deliciously evil Amanda. Special note to Lyndsey Fonsec as Alex, she really pulled this off brilliantly with an appropriate mix of vulnerability and tortured madness.
Then of course there is the excellent Xander Berkeley as Percy. Truly superb acting and you actually find yourself hating him.
But top praise must go to Maggie Q as Nikita. Despite what some have said about her not looking the part, I thought she looked exactly the part. A secret assassin would not look like an assassin or she would be singled out and caught too easily. Maggie Q looks amazing both in her looks and also when carrying out the very realistic martial arts and weapons sequences. I totally believed she WAS Nikita.
But everything about this program is brilliant and all the cast were just perfect. It is a shame they cancelled this during series 4 but I am collecting the box sets to watch over and over again.
