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

Beyond words! December 14, 2004

This show is soooo good! I wasn't able to watch it all the time on Tv when it aired because I was 14 and the show aired at 11PM (I used to watch it In French so the chemistry between Micheal and Nikita wasn't as good as in the original version either). One day, I was shopping and I saw the Dvds and even though I wasn't a ''fan'' i decided to buy it, remembering that my father loved it. Since that day, i'm hooked! Even if the show was made in the late 90's, it still seems real and believable, which is rare in a techno show. I was also able to buy Season 2 on DVD (had to bid on ebay...) and I still want more!!! Its a shame Seasons 3-4-5 probably wont come out...since the season 2 is supposed to come out in ... 2010... sigh

Incredible July 12, 2004
La Femme Nikita was one of the best TV shows of the last decade, a few notable others being Babylon 5 and Twin Peaks. Several other good TV series that had potential got canned early on, like Firefly and VR-5 (the latter being a bit corny trying to masquerade sci-fi as reality). LFN is truly one of the best.Watch LFN as an allegory of the corporate world, as a warning about the future of intelligence agencies and the cold war/hawk ideology, as a defense of the concept of destiny/duty, or as an exploration of social relationships, love, and hate. It doesn't matter. LFN is exquisite in every respect.
Great Series July 9, 2004

I also liked the chemistry between Michael and Nikita. The show is a favorite for my girlfriend and myself. We were always watching it together. I am curious about how they selected Michael as the name. Because Michael as in the name of The Archangel Michael represents the protector against evil. In La Femme Nikita, Michael seeks out evil terrorists.
An Art Form in its Own Right... July 3, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
La Femme Nikita is truly an art form in regard to its brilliant and provocative portrayal of the human psyche. Never has such a television series captured and cleverly displayed emotions so vividly through characters. We can clearly emphasize, applaud, and dream of having Nikita's laurels. We feel we grow as she does! We love witnessing Michael's struggle of the man he must be in the Section and the man he really is. We despise and at the same time, find ourselves attracted to both Madeline's and Operation's cold and ruthless behaviors. The first season, although it was made in 1997, is still ahead of its time! While the characters grapple with Section obstacles, their struggles with their own issues of humanity reminds us of our own. Its exotic settings, great soundtrack (Depeche Mode, Morcheeba, Mono, Enigma, and much more), stylish and modern fashion make this series a real gem. It is a great way for you to fulfill your fantasy of being a "special agent" while also satisfying your "id." You will be hooked, and you won't be able to contain the excitement for the other 5 seasons!
