Summary: The best Television Series ever..... period.
Review: La Femme Nikita is my absolute all time favorite television series, ever. The extraordinary acting that you received on every episode was amazing. Peta Wilson and Roy Dupuis melted my tv screen every week with their incredible chemistry. The supporting cast was exceptional as well with Eugene Robert Glazer, Alberta Watson, Don Franks and Matthew Ferguson. Every week we were treated to a new adventure into the dark world of Section. This show made you think, nothing was ever given away or left obvious, and it kept you always wanting more.This dvd set is wonderful with new interviews from some of the cast as well as audio commentaries and deleted scenes. Buy this set, you won't be dissapointed... you'll just want more. Can't wait to get my hands on Season 2 and the rest of the series. C'mon Warner Bros.... give us what we need... more of LFN on dvd.... we're waiting. ;)

Summary: Killer, sort of
Review: It sounds about as appealing as reheated Freedom Fries: Take a stylish and influential action film by a top French director. Remove all things French -- except for the title. Transform lead character from cold-blooded killer to spunky innocent. Pump up babe and hunk factor. Add stock characters such as computer whiz kid. Boil it all down to an hour and serve weekly on U.S. cable for five years. Mon dieu! But things are never as they seem in the shadowy world of "La Femme Nikita." The TV series was, in fact, far better than it had to be, maintaining a loyal and highly interactive fan base during its 1997-2001 run on USA Network. Warner Home Video delivers the evidence in "La Femme Nikita: The Complete First Season," a slick and sexy six-disc set. The show's look was more John Woo than Luc Besson -- slow-motion violence and clandestine doings set in shadows and dramatic lights. Close-ups tended toward the extreme, the better to catch all those meaningful glances. On the DVD, the visuals look fine, with little grain and lots of high-tech colors on all those old-school computer screens. The soundtrack -- full of under-the-radar indie music collected by Blaine Johnson -- has aged well. Composer Sean Callery's work anticipated the call of techno. Audio on the DVD set proves lively, with the stereo mix capably delivering the beeps, chirps and explosions. The show's creators, who went on to make "24," have a good time providing gang commentary for the first episode; producer Joel Surnow goes it alone for the season's cliffhanger ending. A new making-of featurette checks in with the actors, who don't have a lot to add, but the piece will be fun for fans. A lot is made of star Pita Wilson's fashion sense, but check out her getup in the interview: Yipes! Commentary is optional on the "cancelled scenes" (show lingo for scenes that were killed).

Summary: Please buy this set so future sets will be available!
Review: This is such an awesome show. If you love Alias or 24 you will love La Femme Nikita. This set is also very nice. PLEASE buy it so that future seasons will be produced. Sales have been lower than expected, so Warner won't commit to future sets. Spread the word!

Summary: Finally...
Review: We thought it would never happen, but it did and it was certainly worth waiting for. This set is a must for old and new fans alike. Lots of action, great music and two very attractive Section operatives give this show an edge. The whole cast is great and perfectly suited to their roles - the on screen chemistry between Peta Wilson and Roy Dupuis is truly amazing and like nothing I have ever seen before. The added optional commentary on episodes 1 & 22 is very interesting. Press play and turn up the volume - you won't be disappointed.

Summary: A must have in the DVD collection
Review: I'm not into writing public review's but when it comes to LFN, I had no choice, resistance was futile. LFN consists of excellent plots and has a great cast of actors. The show also keeps you on your toes and keeps the synapes in the brain firing, unlike most of the current TV shows which consists of mind numbing dialog and predictable endings. To think that the producers had a next-to-nothing budget and still made the show a great piece of art for five seasons. That takes dediation, skill, and vision which most TV lack or don't have, or don't try to attain. Props goes out to the producers, actors, writers, clothing designers and everyone else who put work into make LFN a pleasure to watch and experience. I think it should have made it to NBC or Fox. The show was well put together from begining to end, I followed it from day one. LFN is truly a show that deserves the title "Sign of the Times". Buy it. Period.

Summary: Great DVD
Review: Not only is this DVD set great, the packaging is awesome. The DVD's are stored as if they are on pages instead of that annoying flip book design (now if only more DVD sets will use that style packaging). La Femme Nikita is great to watch, every episode is well done, not a single stinker in the bunch. Stories are well written and the casting was awesome. If you like Alias or even BVS, I'd be shocked if you don't love watching this. Buy and enjoy! :-)

Summary: Buy this DVD
Review: "La Femme Nikita" is probably one of the best American TV series ever made. The creators (also did "24") took their inspiration from the brilliant French film "Nikita" but added a twist -- in the TV series, Nikita is not a cold-blooded murderer. This fact leads to the seminal conflict in the series -- the moment Section One believes that she is innocent of the crime that put her in prison, they will kill her, so to stay alive, she must become a killer. The TV series also trumps the movie in another aspect -- it emphasizes how totally and completely alone Nikita is by making outside relationships impossible and by constantly twisting Michael's love for her into nothing more than a Section mission. Finally, analogies have been made between Nikita's relationship with Section and grind of the corporate world, an interesting spin on the world of anti-terrorism organizations. The sets are sexy and stylish -- Section One is a sort of futuristic police department driven solely by technology (as Joel Surnow says in the Special Features, you will never see a piece of paper in Section). The performances are outstanding (both the chemistry between Nikita and Michael and the animosity between Nikita and Operations are electric), the music is edgy (Holly Cole singing "Jersey Girl" is an example) and the resulting series is fantastic. Created at a time when women action heroes in TV were unheard of, "La Femme Nikita" broke barriers in conception, production and execution and still manages to make "Alias" look like summer camp. Buy this DVD and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Besson's fan beware...
Review: This TV series, in particular the first episode, which
imitate the great besson original movie is nothing like
the original. This being said, it does grow on you and gets better
as the episode go... but I bought it seeing there was
only "5 stars" reviews and if you love the movie (the
original one, not the bad remake), you will be disapointed;
at first... If you see it as a serie unrelated, it is a
decent TV show, but TV...

Summary: When Will ALL Seasons Be Available?
Review: Finally, what we have all been waiting for for so long! This is absolutely the best TV show ever, and a must for all LFN fans. The themes are current (they were ahead of their time when filmed), the look and feel is classy, hip and international, the soundtrack rocks, and the casting is superb. Really we MUST have the other seasons (including Season 5) ASAP! Bring it on!!!
