When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who faked her execution and told her she was being given a second chance to start a new life and serve her country. What they didn't tell her was that she was being trained as a spy and assassin. Throughout her grueling training at Division, Nikita never lost her humanity, even falling in love with a civilian. When her fiancé was murdered, Nikita realized she had been betrayed and her dreams shattered by the only people she thought she could trust, so she did what no one else before her had been able to do: she escaped. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former bosses that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation. A rogue assassin returns to take down the secret organization that trained her. If you liked how Peta Wilson and Roy Dupuis portrayed Nikita and Michael, than SKIP THIS! This "Nikita" is just so unconvincing utter crap. And "Division"? I mean, that sounds like "boy scouts", as this is pretty much how it compares with "La Femme: Nikita" and Section 1. I have seen my share of TV series, in fact - many peoples' share of TV series, but attempts like this are plain stupid. If you're gonna build up on something that was already seen, you have to live up to the challenge: don't show some 100-pound skin and bone actress snapping 300- pound guy's neck like a toothpick, than throwing another one over the couch like one throws a jacket… And are those actors getting paid? Stiff, unnatural, naive acting, the list goes on and on. You can't look for much truthfulness in "La Femme: Nikita" either, but all those gadgets, architecture of Section 1, tweaked computers, language (cancelation, no-contest missions…) and so on - all that was way ahead of it's time, which made up for a very convincing storytelling, along with good actors: ruthless Operations, brilliant Madelaine, emotional Nikita and somewhat psychedelic Michael, alongside Birkoff and Walter are what makes "La Femme: Nikita" what it is. This is just bunch of guys with stupidly altered names and big guns running around. <br/><br/>Just imagine what it would look and feel like if "Friends" were remade with the title "Chaps", awfully depicted as Chandelier, Maiolica, Facial, Moss, Snowy and Zombie.<br/><br/>I wish there were negative votes… 'Cause this is -10 at best… I'm looking forward to see the downfall of this stupidity, hopefully before the end of the first season. The show has great characters and awesome fight scenes. In addition, the plot moves at a fast pace.
