I am not a huge fan of remakes, and Nikita is a remake of a TV show, which was a remake of an American movie, which was a remake of an European movie.
Buuuuuttt. It is pretty damn good!
It follows the usual story line of all the Nikitas, but the actors and set up are really well done. Maggie Q stars as Nikita, and does a great job being deadly and sexy all at once, and she really holds this thing together.
But a couple of twists on the usual story make Nikita even better than its predecessors....namely, she is actively going after Division, the agency that made her what she is, trying to disrupt every important assignment they have. And she has a mole inside division that is helping her out. Both these add to the tension and make the show fun to watch.
I have seen two episodes, and really liked both of them...I mean it is not Mad Men, but it is fun. I will give it another, but I think this is going on my list.
