5.0 out of 5 stars Best TV Show in the History of Television, IMO, March 28, 2007

By	Jen "ctwmn6988" (Greenwood, IN United States) - See all my reviews

I watched every single minute of every episode USA aired of this absolutely outstanding series! I lived for Sunday nights and it didn't matter where I was or what I was doing, I stopped to watch this show. I actually worked it into my schedule and Sunday nights revolved around this show. I was so heartbroken when they cancelled it due to budget constraints. I still cling to some fleeting hope that someday they will revive the series, but I think that is only a dream at this point.

It's hard to describe what made this show so good. Perhaps it was the irresistable and ever-evolving love story between Michael and Nikita. You were always left guessing: Is this just a Section ploy or does Michael really love her? Will they ever be together? Ooooooo. Titillating! Kept me hanging on week after week! Or perhaps it was the eclectic and fashionable aura the creators were able to infuse into each episode, from Nikita's open-aired apartment, the outfits of the characters, Madeline's private little garden in her "office", or all those deserted back hallways of Section. Or perhaps it was the funky, cool, rhythmic tunes that seemed to find their way into each episode. Depeche Mode, Enigma, Morcheeba, Garbage, Gus Gus, and a whole host of other little-known artists created some ever-so-cool grooves for Nikita, and I have them all on CD. Or maybe it's just the fact that I like a good chick-with-a-gun show where the heroine is a classy, beautiful, bad-mamma-jamma, with a great upper cut and roundhouse kick, fighting against the system for the good of the people!

Whatever it is, La Femme Nikita will remain my favorite TV show for all time...and I doubt I'll ever find another show to replace its stellar standing in my heart. Some shows are just magic, and this is one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not belive the CD count above..., November 9, 2006

By	B "Tarheel" (NC) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic deal on the complete set of all 5 seasons and will save you much money in the long run. Quality of the recordings are excellent. DO NOT believe the information listed for this item however that it contains only "15" discs. In fact it contains all the discs from the individual items as would be expected and comes to something like 27 discs. I even wrote customer service to look into the mislabeled information above but they responded it was "accurate" Yeah, whatever...the ordered set direct from this link is sitting right in front of me guys and I've counted 'em.

ADDENDUM 3/2/08 - Okay, I see now that Amazon has updated (finally) their disc count in the description of this item. It now lists the correct number of discs. Nice they finally believed me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nikita Series, September 11, 2007

By	J. Spurlock - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Best series of it's Genre, simple as that. The writing, cinematography, and directing are all top notch, generally movie quality. They managed to stay on task the whole series, continuing to pull the rug out from under you regarding the development of the main characters.
Caution: Extremely addictive. After watching a couple of episodes, you will be hooked and begin neglecting your responsibilities until you've finished this series.
Most probably don't know that this show ended after season 4, and the shortened season 5 was created only after unprecedented fan pressure on USA network to bring it back and do a better job of ending the series, which I think they did in season 5. X files meets Mission Impossible is the best way to describe this show.
Bottom line -- you won't be disappointed.
