5.0 out of 5 stars LFN - Art imitating life now August 18, 2004

By Francesca Solo

Format:DVD

I only have the first season but am anxiously wanting to purchase all seasons. I don't usually watch serial or seasonal programs, but when I happened to tune into a rerun about 3-4 years ago I was fascinated and hooked to the point where I would wait til 1:00 a.m. to watch it every night, M-F, short changing my sleeping hours until Oxygen took it off the air. This is a phenomenal program. It was way ahead of its time considering what our country has been facing in recent years! The story lines are intelligent, suspenseful, and so relevant today, I find astounding and intriguing their covert actions and references to known leaders, terroristic threats,etc. I am in awe of how this show came so close to scripting scenes that were similar to current events. More than this however are the spectacular performances by Peta Wilson, Roy Dupuis and the rest of the cast. The action, the martial arts stunts, great! Peta is awesome ;I'm mesmerized by her and her role as Nikita...she is so sexy, yet sensitive and convincingly "tough". Both she and Michael add a sensitivity to the harsh reality of their existence and the "job" they have to do. The intensity of their unrequited longing for each other; their ability to convey all of the nuances of an enigmatic relationship that the viewer anticipates will be fulfilled; the way in which they bring you right to the edge of a love that is taboo-just as the show ends, leaves you waiting for more....and that's where I am now, waiting for more. I don't know how I missed this show when it originally ran but I hope all five seasons will eventually be released. This show has been underrated and far outshines the junk on today's TV. Lots more I can say but I just want to see...Season 2,..3..4..5!!! I'll settle for 2 right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cure for the Common Show March 18, 2005

By Victoria Russell

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

USA Network's La Femme Nikita was undoubtedly, "the cure for the common show." This tag phrase characterized an entire Sunday night lineup for the network but eventually the words defined La Femme Nikita more than any other program. Yes the show is sleek, smart, sexy and fun-escapism at its best-still it requires more of its viewers than merely sitting in front of the television. While most episodes could be described as stand alone, there were several episodes that arched a season and eventually the entire series. Fans of the entire five season run can attest to that. Though producers and writers insist they never plotted more than a few episodes in advance, their attention to detail and honest awareness of the history of the covert world of Section One and its players produced a seamless continuum as fans experienced thrilling highs and devastating lows wondering what would come of their heroes. Produced in Toronto but set all over the world, La Femme Nikita allowed its worldwide viewers to strike an alliance with the show and its characters which spawned unprecedented loyalty.

Now La Femme Nikita has experienced a resurrection of sorts thanks to Warner Brothers' release of the first two seasons on DVD. Just one day after the release of the second DVD set comes the announcement that fans will get season three after only a short three month wait. Now new fans can experience the series from the beginning inspiring even more loyalty and viewers. A suggestion bandied about since the release of the first season would be to make the DVD set viewable in places other than the United States and Canada. La Femme Nikita is arguably one of the most recognized international cable television programs and DVD sales would undoubtedly go through the roof. Considering fans were able to bring back the series after it had wrapped production for an additional 8 episodes to see tortured lovers Michael and Nikita (portrayed by Roy DuPuis and Peta Wilson) reunite once more, it seems inevitable that the voracious overseas appetite for the series will eventually be fulfilled.

5.0 out of 5 stars Season 2 postponed? cancelled? WTF? July 17, 2004

By J. ALONZO

Format:DVD

I just got the email from amazon..saying that they can't ship me the dvd's as promised etc....reason given was they couldn't find stock at any of their resources and so my order was cancelled and check back in the future.

I don't (...)believe this..I've been waiting since 1998 to see these things on dvd...I'm just really disappointed. People are selling bootlegged vcd's the this series on ebay ALL the time...when we try to buy it legitimately..we can't win.

According to the amazon website - still advertising this boxset - the new release date is now January 2010.

Who do we send requests to..to get these dvd's released? Season 3 Season 4 Season 5? HELP HELP HELP

Then I get an email saying..buy Alias..it's like LFN...hello! cheap imitation and LFN does it all better...why is it that quality is so hard to come by and crap is released a thousand times and always heavily discounted?!?!?!

I really hope to hear the problem whatever it is..is corrected. LFN was saved once (sure they were just 8 episodes in Season 5 but it was better then nothing)...I wonder if the dvd realease is just too much to ask for.
