La Femme Nikita: Season 2

Terrific cast in this older series. Great scripts.

USA Network's La Femme Nikita was undoubtedly, "the cure for the common show." This tag phrase characterized an entire Sunday night lineup for the network but eventually the words defined La Femme Nikita more than any other program. Yes the show is sleek, smart, sexy and fun-escapism at its best-still it requires more of its viewers than merely sitting in front of the television. While most episodes could be described as stand alone, there were several episodes that arched a season and eventually the entire series. Fans of the entire five season run can attest to that. Though producers and writers insist they never plotted more than a few episodes in advance, their attention to detail and honest awareness of the history of the covert world of Section One and its players produced a seamless continuum as fans experienced thrilling highs and devastating lows wondering what would come of their heroes. Produced in Toronto but set all over the world, La Femme Nikita allowed its worldwide viewers to strike an alliance with the show and its characters which spawned unprecedented loyalty.Now La Femme Nikita has experienced a resurrection of sorts thanks to Warner Brothers' release of the first two seasons on DVD. Just one day after the release of the second DVD set comes the announcement that fans will get season three after only a short three month wait. Now new fans can experience the series from the beginning inspiring even more loyalty and viewers. A suggestion bandied about since the release of the first season would be to make the DVD set viewable in places other than the United States and Canada. La Femme Nikita is arguably one of the most recognized international cable television programs and DVD sales would undoubtedly go through the roof. Considering fans were able to bring back the series after it had wrapped production for an additional 8 episodes to see tortured lovers Michael and Nikita (portrayed by Roy DuPuis and Peta Wilson) reunite once more, it seems inevitable that the voracious overseas appetite for the series will eventually be fulfilled.

Season One left you on the edge of your seat for four or five months (can't quite remember!) until January 1998 when Season Two premiered. And boy, was it worth it. Every. Single. Second. Why do you ask? Because a show hooked up its two leads in the season 2 premiere. One of the fastest hookups and extremely daring for a cable show airing on USA Network. Producers pushed the envelope of 'decency' and showed a completely nude scene for the first time (I believe) on BASIC cable. Fans nation- (and eventually world-) wide were shocked, awed, and delighted. Quite frankly we got a nice view of Michael's behind. And a beautifully rendered love scene.And then they took it all back with the next several episodes. Season two sees Michael and Nikita together in the premiere, and then see-sawing back and forth between love and loathing for the next 21 episodes. It has some amazing character-building episodes: Hard Landing, Not Was, Psychic Pilgrim, and Half-Life to mention a few.Caution to newbies: Season 2, and every other season in the series, ends on a cliff-hanger. And at least you don't have to wait four to six months to get your fix. So I'd advise, if you're an addict...to buy all the seasons at once. Otherwise you're going to be throwing things at the TV come 'End Game.'

We thought we had seen all the episodes back in the 90s.You don't realized how good production was back then.Great story lines.

I got my season early a little over done on the packaging I thought but it show they care about making sure you item isn’t damaged for you so I appreciated it I will be happy to order from Mike marts again cause I know they care about the customers getting what they ordered in great condition I am a huge fan of this series so these dvds ment a lot to me

LFN fans, keep holding on to that dream that we will eventually possess the DVD version of this whole show - Seasons 1 - 5...at least, before the whole DVD technology becomes obsolete! 2010 seems so distant, I hope that WB will be able to release S3, 4 and 5 in the meantime. Season 2 is highly energetic, with some wonderful sequences. It retains the usual nobody-really-wins-in-the-end trademark, or at least, without almost 'selling your soul'.(a bit like buying the DVD at auction) But, most of all, it remains highly entertaining, for those of us who love this sort of stuff. The characters run true to form, and we get to know them even better. However, it has to be said that the music worked really well in this Season. What was that I mentioned above, about paying the price...? This is the result - controversy over contracts and royalties...and in all of this, of course, it is the fanbase who lose out!Keep heart.

Very kitsch storylines, characters. Kinda daft overall. But the Petra of that time was easily the most beautiful women on the planet. That same beauty would hold up to today's standards!

Like new and Thank you .....Cheers!

Tuve que volver a comprar la 2a temporada ya que la que tenía se arruinó. Tengo toda la serie y la vuelvo a ver cada 2 o 3 años.

The entire seasons at my fingertips.wow...I really enjoyed watching this series years ago and am so happy that Amazon has it. A series of intrigue and suspense....it has me spellbound!I had quick service with Amazon, as always. The shipment arrives very quickly and the price of the items is always very good. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes espionage, suspense, and to just be entertained. I have all the seasons.I would and have used Amazon for most of my purchases and have never been disspointed!

La saison 2 de "la femme Nikita" avec Péta Wilson se révèle passionnante. Nikita est devenue une tueuse redoutable et accomplie. Mais son sens de la justice et son humanité se heurtent au cynisme de la "Section", son employeur. Malgré le peut d'alternatives dont elle dispose elle fait en sorte d'aider les innocents au péril de sa vie. J'aime le personnage de cette femme forte, belle, intelligente, ambivalente et surtout généreuse malgré l'univers impitoyable dans lequel elle évolue. L'esthétisme de la série glaciale et stylée ajoutent à la dramaturgie de l'action. C:est une série à classer parmis les grandes.Attention ce dvd n'est visible qu' avec un lecteur compatible zone 1 !! Il est introuvable en zone 2... Des problèmes de droits avec Besson sans doute...

ニキータはこのニキータ以外に無い非常に完成度高い、字幕付きがあるとパーフェクトですが

The product, a TV series DVD package, was delivered quickly and in good condition. Fair price, too.
