Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe series' original cancellation in 2000 was due to a dispute between Wilson and the producers of the show over Wilson being offered the role of Jean Grey in Dị Nhân (2000) and asking to be released from her contract early so she could participate. The producers refused and Wilson refused to renew her contract. It would appear, this had Peta Wilson blacklisted for the rest of her "Hollywood" career.
- GoofsIn the early episodes, Section would put a stick-up microphone/earpiece behind Nikita's earlobe, before leaving for a mission. This allowed her to communicate remotely with the base. As the series progressed, in further seasons, they didn't even try anymore; they couldn't be bothered to make it look credible---perhaps assuming viewers took that for granted---and the whole "sticking the silver circle behind Peta's earlobe" was given up. Then the production took their audiences for granted. The actress would just speak her lines as Nikita, while the visuals showed she had absolutely nothing behind her ears. The same for other remotely-speaking characters on a mission. Audiences were apparently expected to suspend disbelief, whenever Nikita was then whispering sans microphone/earpiece while out---often in a loud location such as a nightclub or party, which made no sense whatsoever---and her words were expected to be somehow magically relayed to Berkoff or Michael.

Featured review
I loved this show and never missed an episode. I thought it was suspenseful and well written. I was fully involved in this program. It will be sorely missed.
I cannot understand why we don't even get re-runs. I think the acting was well done and the characters detailed. I think the relationship between Nikita and Michael was intense and riveting. I have seen repeated episodes of garbage shows on television and I do not understand why no network thinks this show is worth repeating. I was hoping they would make another movie perhaps letting us know what happened after wards. I guess the actors have moved on. I think the original movie was very good and think the television show was a testament to it.
