Summary: *Better* than the original
Review: I've watched the original movie, "La Femme Nikita", and I've also watched every episode of the TV series. Quite frankly, the TV series is vastly superior to that cheap budgetted movie. The actors are much better, and the whole thing has much more polish, class, and intelligence to it (though you still have to give credit to the original director, since it was his idea).The series is much more serious and caustic than the movie. It is amazing, because in every episode, huge ranges of emotion and mood are set by the subtlest of voice tones or facial expressions. It's like forcing all the water from Niagra falls through a drinking straw. The actors playing Nikita and Michael vastly exceed their French counterpart in acting, and the characters also exceed their French counterparts from the original. Likewise with Madeline and Operations, both of who's counterparts were card-board cutout characters in the original movie. If you liked the original movie, you will definately like the series. It is truely superior in every way.

Summary: Magical
Review: La Femme Nikita, the television series, was magical in how the complete production - from musical score, casting, locations, acting, and writing - wove together perfectly to make you do something you rarely do when watching film or television: Forget your real life, and be immersed in the story totally. That to me, is the highest compliment. This show accomplished that...

Summary: One of the best Action shows in TV history
Review: Can you say FINALLY? The network have released on dvd one of the best shows that television had to offer. I began watching the show very late in the game, but luckily they ran it late every week night for from the beginning where I was able to catch it from act one scene one. When I watched all 5 seasons and the network began to run it again, they stopped showing it in between seasons where I started taping the show for my collection. The chemistry between Michael and Nikita were so intense you felt like you were drugged into seeing what was going to happen next. Every single episode was great, Season Five didn't end the way it should have, but having being rushed to complete it, is probably the reason. BUT, if you want to watch a show that has action, emotion, very little comedy and just a great overall 96 hours of stay on your couch till it is all done show, this is the one to watch...Believe, me, you will fall in love with every character at Section one whether you want to or not...You will see the bad and good side of each of them and that makes you realize they are human after all...

Summary: MISSION SUCCESSFUL!
Review: Your performance was acceptable, target acquired.
Next mission: BIG SCREEN RELEASE (yup, I'm still dreaming). Nah, I am just so happy I can soon retire my worn video tapes and actually see Michael, Nikita, Birkoff, Walter, Madeline, and Operations in action. Imagine the stories, music, and acting with no commercials and (hopefully) dvd extras! I am counting the days ...

Summary: This show...WOW!
Review: For all of us loyal fans, this DVD has been long awaited! If you have NOT caught La Femme Nikita before, you're missing out on something intense. Are you looking for a multilayered show that will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting more? This one will hook you and take you for a ride...
Complex characters, ongoing mystery, psychological games, international action, and constant plot twists will leave you wondering who the good guys are.
Michael and Nikita have perfect chemistry! Though love is "off-limits" they manage to keep their interactions tauntingly sensuous.
(This show is not for the passionless, nor the seeker of humor.) Despite the emotional intensity, there are moments of light-heartedness, and plenty of entertainment for the "action-junkie." This show appeals most to the "deep tortured soul," and the "covert action" fan.
Music lovers--The music in the episodes of La Femme Nikita is amazing as well!

Summary: At Last!!
Review: At last, the DVD collection has finally arrived! This was the best show on TV for 5 years. It had so many fans that when the network tried to cancel it after 4 seasons the fans rallied and got it renewed for a short fifth and final season. Brilliant writing and acting combined to make it so very interesting and entertaining. Much better than Alias in my opinion. I just hope they release DVD collections for all of the seasons!

Summary: One of the greatest TV series of all time!
Review: This show has it all; love, murder, mayhem, action and msytery. The characters are in depth and absolutley riveting to watch. The struggles Nikita faces keep the show moving at a face pace and keeps the audience craving for more. Nikita and Michael make a great, but sometimes confusing, pair. I recommend this series to everyone and anyone. All I have to say is when is the second season being released?!

Summary: La Femme Nikita-a hugely underrated show.
Review: This tv show is exceptional.
Better than 99% of the shows on TV.
Heck, its better than a lot of movies I have paid for.
Putting this on DVD for us buyers is a must.

Summary: Josephine?
Review: Finally! The long awaited DVD of the cult hit is here! The DVD begins where the movie (of the same name) dared not go...following Nikita's life within Section One, her life outside of it, and the love for Michael. The first disc starts out pretty much how the cinema version did. But consequent episodes showed her emotional compassion for others and how she ultimately developes into the true femme fatale, a woman with looks that could deceive!

Summary: About Time - now hurry up with the rest
Review: OK .. Still not sure how good a transfer to disc this will be but La Femme Nikita is a great series that was very losely based on Luc Bessons film of the same name (Remade as The Assassin in the USA with Bridget Fonda - far inferior to the original).
The series takes a new slant on the film and ran for 4 full series and a 5th mini series. The series is of mixed writing quality but generally good fun - although the mixed writers can cause some lack of continuity .. The series was very unfairly treated in its 5th series - which seemed to have been purely comisioned to kill it off. However still well worth collecting the whole lot.
