La Femme Nikita

[somerfrost]

Just finished re-watching the five years of this show (last was only 8 episodes, brought back after cancellation cause of fan interest). Sometimes when I haven't seen a show for awhile, I forget how good it was, this is certainly an example! If you like Alias, this show preceeded it and, in my opinion, is much better. Peta Wilson is simply stunning and Roy Dupuis as Michael has created one of the coolest characters (for want of a better description) to ever air on television. Twists and turns keep you guessing from the first episode to the last and the supporting characters (especially Walter, Operations, Madeline and Berkhoff) are more interesting than many lead characters on other shows. Add great background music (everything from Iron Butterfly on) and great technology (even by today's standards) and you have a simply wonderful show!
