Hi,
As mentioned earlier, I am back with the review for NIKITA Season 1 (19 episodes so far have been aired). The series captivates the happenings of Nikita after she escaped at the end of La Femme Nikita (1997). It follows her motive to bring down Division, the government agency which made her an assassin. I have always liked espionage series like Alias, 24, Chuck and so it was obvious I was going to watch this. But what caught my imagination was this.
I think this image was enough to make me watch the 19 episodes over 15 hours straining my eye and heating up my ear lobes but not a bit disappointed at all. The starting episode featured Maggie in all her sexy avatar as she had done in NFS Undercover. But here she was more enticing and appealing and to top it all she was performing her own stunts. Very rarely you get to see a sexy lady throwing in some punches and kicks and she reminded me of Sarah of Chuck fame.
Too much of Maggie, coming back to the show, its a thriller based on a clandestine government outfit who activates and cancels an assassin on its own wishes. The plot has a lot of twists, skin show, action and above all the bollywood ishtyle masala to keep you glued to the episode. Somewhere down the line, the plot is predictable but the acting keeps the episodes ticking. The usual love quotient is there but its more like a guilty love. The casting does do justice to their roles except Alex who I thought was doing over-acting. The old swag Percy tries to be his meanest and I would vouch for him on that. The cinematography is quite engrossing with a fast paced camera action which does justice to the series.
Overall the series is good as per me. I will give it a 4 out of 5 rating.
