La Femme Nikita: Season 3 [DVD]

Watch the show when it came, was hooked the chemistry between Michael and NIkta was off the charts. The story line was great.

I really wish people would stop comparing LFN to other tv shows, especially Alias. I love Alias, am a huge fan of the show, but while I have only seen the first 2 seasons of LFN so far (since I just bought them on DVD in March when the 2nd season was released) I would have to say that the 2 shows just aren't comparable... They are both spy shows but that is basically where the similarities end. Alias is a great show (a little slow and boring through this past season since it was acting as filler until they could get around to the good stuff) but I would HATE it if they tried to make it more like LFN, and in turn, I would hate LFN if they had gone on and turned it into something like Alias (or 24 or MI-5 etc).LFN takes you through the life of someone that had nothing to do with that lifestyle, and basically throws that person into it without a choice, oh well, she did have a choice, Live and do it with their rules, or Die... Not much of a choice which is what was great about it (and the original movie as well). The great part of the tv show was that they took the main basis of the movie and then were able to not only expand on it some, but have a whole 5 seasons to do whatever they wanted with it. They focus on Nikita with "jobs" being just that... They never really seem to have a whole lot to do with the main plot or at least not for long. They whole point is about HER and how she evolves as she needs to, to stay alive ... Alias focuses more on Rambaldi and the Prophecy and evil/good power with all characters and they like to throw in eye candy clothes with cool moves, and great music to help draw people in (no problem in that as long as you don't take it for more than that).But this is about LFN, so let's cut back to that. I first jumped into the LFN fan pool, drooling over the 2 seasons and knowing (or at least hoping for) the 3rd to be released this summer... I had no idea in the beginning just How Many seasons there were and then found out there were 5 (you lucky b@st*rds that got to see all 5 on tv). I am going crazy waiting for the next month to go by, and I know I will totally drive myself insane waiting for the next 2 seasons over the next 2 years...I never got to see the series when it originally aired on tv since I was homeless at the time (and I am a punk rocker). Seeing the French movie version(on cable in February) then the series (in March) has made me feel a little odd and wonder if that could actually happen and possibly happen to some of the people I know... Hmmm, the conspiracy theories that could evolve.

good quality

Based on the movies Nikita (by Luc Besson of the Fifth Element, Transporter and Leon the Professional fame) and Point of No Return (the Americanized version) this Canadian TV show was developed and guided by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochoran who gave us Nowhereman and 24) produced on a next to nothing budget yet they still managed to have ground breaking effects with their above the table video screen. They couldn't afford chase sequences so they relied upon character development and clever dialog. Peta Wilson (remember her from League of the Extraordinary Gentelmen?), Alberta Watson (who'd later show up in the updated Nikita with Maggie Q), Eugene Glazer (who plays such a brilliant bad good bad guys, I forget now, which was he? Good or bad?), Don Francks as the aging hippy supply guy who I remembered from that short lived show of Norman Felton's "Jericho"). Nikita was the killer with a heart who didn't always kill if she thought it was morally wrong. This show introduced chilling elements to TV including the concept of ABAYANCE and CANCELLING. One of the most chilling episodes came from Star Trek NG Alumi Maurice Hurley who had a rat cage put over Nikita's face as she sat in a floating cell next to Michael was torchured for information. Man, that came from the same guy who gave us bikini babes in Baywatch Hawaii! Morey! But that doesn't forgive you for replacing Dr. Crusher! Non-the-less for Television that episode was totally shocking! La Femme Nikita did that. It pushed the bounds of television back in the end of the 20th century. The show made us think. The show made us winch! It still stands up today because of writing like Hurley's, supervision like Surnow's and Cochran's and the production of Jay Firestone and Jamie Paul Rock. What these people, including the FINE cast, did with their budget was equal to what Gene Roddenberry did with year on Star Trek and what Sam Rolfe Did with year one Man from UNCLE and what Michael Garrison did with year one Wild, Wild West. It is a classy classic.

Peta Wilson is perfect.

'90's BUT WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME. Inspired by the French movie, but goes it's own way and becomes one of the greatest sci-fi spy thriller series ever. Clearly the inspiration for Alias and several other great thriller series.

I have had Seasons 1 & 2 for years - but - way out here in the sticks - NO PLACE TO SHOP (only Walmart & Mom & Pop stores - BOTH way too expensive & NEVER has what YOU want - JUST what THEY are willing to stock - even after I told them I was willing to pay their price & pre-order - STILL NO JOY - Then came Amazon.ca & it's wide & varying collections of GREAT sellers & people that believe in customer service - THANK YOU for showing me what REAL salesmanship IS !

ニキータはこのニキータ以外ない完成度が高い、字幕付きがあるとパーフェクトだが

Very happy with it! It is a used product so I didn’t expect absolutely perfection.

A good 3rd season with the late margot kidder from superman movies with chris reeve era and also making a quest appearance Adam ant (adam and the ants) .
