(More customer reviews)I watched every single minute of every episode USA aired of this absolutely outstanding series! I lived for Sunday nights and it didn't matter where I was or what I was doing, I stopped to watch this show. I actually worked it into my schedule and Sunday nights revolved around this show. I was so heartbroken when they cancelled it due to budget constraints. I still cling to some fleeting hope that someday they will revive the series, but I think that is only a dream at this point.
It's hard to describe what made this show so good. Perhaps it was the irresistable and ever-evolving love story between Michael and Nikita. You were always left guessing: Is this just a Section ploy or does Michael really love her? Will they ever be together? Ooooooo. Titillating! Kept me hanging on week after week! Or perhaps it was the eclectic and fashionable aura the creators were able to infuse into each episode, from Nikita's open-aired apartment, the outfits of the characters, Madeline's private little garden in her "office", or all those deserted back hallways of Section. Or perhaps it was the funky, cool, rhythmic tunes that seemed to find their way into each episode. Depeche Mode, Enigma, Morcheeba, Garbage, Gus Gus, and a whole host of other little-known artists created some ever-so-cool grooves for Nikita, and I have them all on CD. Or maybe it's just the fact that I like a good chick-with-a-gun show where the heroine is a classy, beautiful, bad-mamma-jamma, with a great upper cut and roundhouse kick, fighting against the system for the good of the people!
Whatever it is, La Femme Nikita will remain my favorite TV show for all time...and I doubt I'll ever find another show to replace its stellar standing in my heart. Some shows are just magic, and this is one of them.
