Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Longtime La Femme Nikita fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this six-disc boxed set, which compiles the syndicated television series' entire first season, and shows why it garnered a devoted audience throughout its five-season run (1997-2001): it's a fast-paced, action-packed mixture of sex appeal (thanks to the statuesque form of its star, Australian actress Peta Wilson) and intricately plotted espionage thrills. Producers Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran (who later created 24) hewed the series' framework closely to its inspiration--Luc Besson's 1990 theatrical feature of the same name--save for one change. Where the movie Nikita is a drug-addicted thug, Wilson's Nikita is a street-savvy homeless woman. The pilot, "Nikita" (on disc 1), details her introduction to the underground spy network known as Section One: facing a death sentence after a trumped-up murder charge, Nikita is approached by the mysterious Michael (Roy Dupuis), who offers her a new identity as an anti-terrorist operative. The subsequent 21 episodes in the set offer plenty of action and suspense, as well as a compelling character in Nikita, who struggles constantly with the deception and bloodshed that are unavoidable aspects of her assignments. The set concludes with a dramatic season finale, disc 6's "Mercy," which forces Nikita to deal with some hard truths about her future and her feelings for Michael.

If having the complete first season in one set doesn't please series fans, the supplemental features will surely satisfy even the iciest armchair operative. Disc 1 offers commentary by Surnow, Cochran, and director Jon Cassar on "Nikita" as well as commentary by Surnow for deleted scenes from several episodes (also on discs 2, 3, and 6); disc 6 features Surnow's comments on "Mercy," as well as "Section One Declassified: The Making of La Femme Nikita," which features interviews with the cast and creators. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars Best acting and production ensemble ever !, June 28, 2002
By "gil_cdn" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
La Femme Nikita (the series) is the best TV show I have seen in years. I have taped all episodes (Season 1 - 5) and am still watching all re-runs on TV. The entire cast (Peta Wilson, Roy Dupuis, Eugene Robert Glazer, Alberta Watson, Don Franks, Matthew Ferguson) have done a tremendous job to create strong chemistry between each character.

The producers, Joe Surnow and Robert Cochran (producers of "24") have created plots and turns that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The music by Sean Callery and costumes by Laurie Drew created a hype new look for the TV series.

La Femme Nikita DVD set is a must own, must see collectors' item!

5.0 out of 5 stars A show that does not have an equal!, June 28, 2002
By "carmex316" (MASSACHUSETTS, USA) - See all my reviews
In 1997 USA Network caught lightening in a bottle when they started a show based on a popular french movie "Nikita". They could not have chose a better cast either, Peta Wilson played the innocent and free spirited Nikita with such freshness and likeability that you couldn't help but always be on her side.

Roy Dupuis was cast as her mentor, trainor, protector and soon to be lover Michael. From the very beginning you could tell he was going to steal the show - and he did. Dupuis did an excellent job of always keeping you guessing about Michael's true motives.

Eugene Robert Glazer, Alberta Watson, Don Franks, and Matthew Ferguson as the truly amazing supporting cast. They made you believe Section One was real - and did a damn fine job of it.

This show was so complex, you would think you had everything figured out, then the tables would turn faster than the blink of an eye and you were way off. It kept your attention until the very last second, and always made you want more.

This is a series that we NEED on dvd. Warner Brothers take notice. This is what the fans want - whole box sets of every season with extras: outtakes, deleted scenes, etc..

Please don't make us wait forever... we're standing here with our money in hand - take it please!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing can compare..., August 9, 2002
By Goddess "Goddess" (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
to Nikita, Michael, Walter, Operations, Madeline, Berkoff, and everyone else. This series was a true gem in a sea of television's usual...shows. Imaginative, inspiring, romantic, and trendy ~ one episode is all it takes to get hooked in to the world of Section One. The character development was splendid, the story lines brilliant, and the overall feel dark and sleek and sexy. It has it all. Peta Wilson is the stunningly beautiful Nikita - with long legs and a collection of sunglasses and a look that every woman wishes for. Roy Dupuis stars as Michael, the seeming cold but truly sensitive secret agent whose look is enough to melt any woman's heart.

No review can truly express the brilliance which was La Femme Nikita. However, for those fans dedicated to the series, our VHS tapes have long since worn out and we live for the day this is released on DVD. And perhaps, then, a whole new generation of fans will discover the magic of LFN.
