Summary: ECSTATIC about Season 1! But like a junkie will need more!!
Review: There are very few television shows that hook me with just one episode. LFN is like an addictive drug. One shot and you're hooked! And then you need more and more and more. I would check out USA Network's LFN website all the time. I could not get enough. I wanted more and more and more. When USA Network aired the top viewer's choice episodes--omg, I was on cloud nine! Some of my favorite episodes one right after another! (Even though with La Femme--EVERY episode can be your favorite!) La Femme is the only TV show where I would leave a party, function, etc. to go home and watch it (or ask the host if he had cable and could I please use his television for an hour--no lie). If I were going to be out of town and wouldn't have access to cable, I'd set my VCR timer to tape it. Though I had taped some episodes on video, I suffered serious withdrawal symptoms when LFN was cancelled. LFN had everything! Action, drama, sexual tension, and a range of emotions that could send you on a rollercoaster ride. You could empathize and sympathize with every character. Even characters you hated you also loved and sometimes felt pity for (like Madeline). This show was gutsy, gritty, no-nonsense. Someone else described it as a guy show that even girls like. It truly is that! I'm a woman and I LOVE La Femme Nikita. All I can say is I WANT ALL FIVE SEASONS! NOW!!!!!

Summary: Hurray! Now I can get my Roy Dupuis "fix" whenever I want!
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite shows and I can't wait for the DVD release! I actually got a lot of my wardrobe ideas from the Nikita character...so stylish and fantastic. This show is enough to make you want to join a secret crime-fighting society, if nothing else for the accoutrements that go along with the job! Now if only they'd release The Golden Girls and Night Court on DVD, I'd never leave the house! LOL!

Summary: In a class of its own
Review: There is NO other tv series that even comes close to what La Femme Nikita has done. It is truely in a class of its own: the realism, cinematography, acting and story are all top notch and hollywood movie quality, not what you expect from a tv series. Each episode features its own story with many twists, turns, secrets and of course REALISTIC action. And all episodes connect together to tell a much bigger story/secret. All the characters in the movie progresses dramatically with the story as well. It's so sad this series did not get the attention it deserves because it's on USA and not one of the major tv networks, while other [bad] tv series continues on. Unless you absolutely hate covert spy movies, YOU WILL BE HOOKED AFTER WATCHING THE FIRST EPISODE.

Summary: It was too good to last
Review: I was a fan of the French film (if you haven't seen it yet you should!) so when the USA network began promoting a series I was there for the first episode. All I can say is that I was blown away from episode one. The fact that this was a television series on a cable network, working on a next-to-nothing budget never really made a difference because the cast and the amazing writing kept you on the edge of your seat. It was an unforgettable five-season ride for the viewers. Many times I wonder if a network like Fox ("24") or ABC ("Alias") had run the series would LFN have gotten the attention and awards it deserved? Now with the release of season one on DVD everyone who missed it will be able to see why LFN was too good to last. BUY THIS DVD PACKAGE - you will not regret the purchase!!

Summary: La Femme Nikita in Australia
Review: La Femme Nikita was never promoted in Australia, I caught an early episode by chance (Simone) at some unearthly hour, and it took just that ONE eposide to have me hooked for life. I wish there were more people in Australia that recognised this show for what it was. This amazingly addictive show, is on it's own, there is nothing like it, and I doubt anyone could ever copy let alone better the "on air" chemistry between Michael & Nikita.

Summary: Best TV show ever
Review: This is hands down one of the best TV shows of all time. Most TV shows are a complete waste of time but this one was very well put together. The characters are well played. The stories are unique while maintaining a common theme. The technology is even half believable on a TV budget (wtf does that ever happen)??? Even some of the people we hate throughout the story you kind of start to like them. The stories are unpredictable which is just another reason I liked the series so much. This is well done TV it's too bad most of TV land doesn't have a clue otherwise there would be more shows that display the genious of Nikita. Hell even women like this show which is uncommon with "cool" shows that have guns and killing. Can't say enough great things about this series. The only bad thing with this series is THEY STOPPED MAKING IT!!

Summary: "Be patient."
Review: Finally!!!! I will have my DVD's! But I want all of LFN!! La Femme Nikita is the only television show that ever seeped into my soul. I'm not a big television watcher. I just don't have the time. Perhaps it was the time slot? It started slowly, with an occasional Sunday evening viewing on USA Network. Without realizing, I was starting to look forward to the second airing late at night on Sunday. I then discovered reruns during the week and was addicted. For those of us honest enough to admit that we like violence, intrigue, mental cruelty and danger mixed in with a hopelessly romantic, angst ridden, sexually charged storyline, LFN is perfection. I won't even get into how ahead of its time it was. You can read the other reviews. Although it is now gone, it is certainly not forgotten! (I don't get Oxygen) All around the world there are many of us who, much to the concern of our loved ones, obsess with all things Michael Samuelle (Roy Dupuis ~ a la vie!) and Nikita (Peta Wilson ~ starring in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Sean Connery this July). Search the World Wide Web for LFN fan fiction. There is enough of it out there to keep you busy reading for at least a year or longer! The release of Season One on DVD's is an answer to our prays (and email!).
If La Femme Nikita holds a special place in your heart, I beg you to purchase Season One. We need it to be successful if there are to be DVD's for seasons two, three, four and five!

Summary: Hoping and praying for the next 4 seasons
Review: This show broke new ground in so many ways--others have described most of them so I won't. So many innovative things were done, successfully, that it's a game to count direct influences in post-Nikita shows. It was probably ahead of its time...or maybe it helped raise the bar for the rest of TV. Most importantly, it is entertaining. Few other shows are worth watching more than once for nuance. But what they have in common is multiple layers of relationship going on, things that you don't need to catch the first time you see it but illuminate and enhance the story line when you do.

Summary: Before Alias, there was LFN
Review: Before Alias, there was a ground breaking show called La Femme Nikita. Peta Wilson and the rest of the cast were relative unknowns until this show aired in the USA. The USA network took a big risk with this show and it payed off. For three years the show did great but the numbers dwindled and the studio cancelled the show after the fourth season finale aired. Because of the fans, LFN was brought back. The fans of the show campaigned and succeeded for the show to be brought back for eight more episodes. This is one of the only shows I know of that has done this and is a testament to its quality. I feel that anyone that watches this will get hooked on its style and hippness.
