Nikita: Season 3

I've only watched 9 episodes so far, but I like it a lot! It seems to me TV shows have far exceeded non-avant-garde movies in ways (actual dialogue, more reasonably-realistic character interactions, etc.). Here's my breakdown; obviously this is all just opinion, so you're welcome to disagree!Great: Reasonably realistic dialogues (characters aren't unrealistically romantic, even when you might want them to make up / make out as a viewer). Maggie Q is an awesome action character, and good all-around actor. It's not surprising in retrospect that she was a student of Jackie Chan. The mix of action, suspense/drama, etc. seems good to me -- it's a fun viewing experience.Good but could be better: The average show environment is good, but not as jaw-dropping as a super-spy-thriller could offer. Shane West (Michael) doesn't come off as a sexist entitled douche, unlike many male leads in the action industry (Andrew Lincoln or Jon Bernthal in The Walking Dead, for example), and can be at times genuine, complicated, and likeable ... which altogether is relieving but not groundbreaking.Could be improved: The storyline in the first 9 episodes hasn't had as many twists and turns as I would have liked. Despite the loyalty conflicts in or between characters, minor ploys, etc., they have followed the "hunt down bad division agent X" format a little much. On the other hand, it's kind-of nice not to see Fletcher become yet-another corrupted leader ... I'm not exactly asking for the "opposite" plot-wise. Social dialogue around Michael's transient disability (loss of hand) has been a degree of unsubstantiative so far.Also: It's really unfortunate Amazon Instant Video doesn't work on my primary Linux desktop (with my 27" korean IPS) or have native Android apps ... I'm really hoping some time mainstream audio/video content publishing won't be a frustrating user experience. I'm okay with paying a reasonable price for content, I just wish it were easier to access! Blu-ray's no better though, and Unbox on my [dual-boot] Windows laptop works well.

I first caught this on Netflix when I was on medical leave and forced to be flat in bed for an extended period; being in information, international relations, humanitarian affairs and human security, I was interested to see if I'd like this show because I know the landscape of threat assessments. I run a foundation that puts out a journal on this, and I know others in the field. I figured I'd be hyper-critical, but instead I loved the intelligence of the show, the sense of bringing certain histories and character development to the fore, beloved "Nerd" caustic quips and both obvious and subtle references to fantasy and sci-fi, and Nikita always trying to make sure she's using her abilities for the right reasons, and questioning those who don't. While some of it is far-fetched, I also know personally that truth can be stranger than fiction. I'm now getting caught up here on Amazon on season three after binge-viewing on Netflix the first two seasons. I'm hoping they continue forward for further seasons, and they they'll keep up the level of intelligence in the writing as well as the complexity of character development. Those like me, who love smart television, and who also know what's going on in the world, need more entertainment like this for decompression from the very real, brutal world some of us deal with every day.

Very sexy, entertaining series.

I have watched the first two seasons and half of the third! I'm in love with it! Niki is a badass! she is complicated but not obnoxiously so. every episode I wonder how the writers are going to take it anywhere and every episode I am surprised and in awe of how they can keep you guessing! the missions are obviously over the top but not in a way that you can't even fathom how it would be completed. The romance isn't the total focus. Her sense of loyalty and family give the show its well rounded plot value but being as I like action flicks, It doesn't take over the purpose of the show. She sticks to her missions and does what she thinks is right regardless of the danger. Her being a chick makes me love it even more! move over 007, 00Niki will give you a run for your money!

Watching some of the shows produced after this, you can see how the ideas from this one travel to for example, Agents of Shield

With Percy dead & the government finally in the know, Division is tasked with tracking down rogue agents & cleaning up their messes with Nikita & the gang at the helm. If they do, everyone is free to go with new identities & a fair amount of money. Unfortunately, things begin to go downhill when Amanda reappears with an obsession with showing Nikita how naive and stupid she is to think she can't be hurt or has nothing to lose.While the first two seasons are increasingly amazing, the third season is where it derails, hence why the series was cancelled. Seemingly, the vast amount of plotlines & plot twists fit into the first two seasons resulted in the writing staff getting writer's block- at least that's how it appears. The main problem, though, is that the first two seasons were based around an uneasy chase/ thriller theme which made it unique & drew in the fans. With Nikita literally having an army at her back & no longer on the run battling against an enemy that is, the third season looses that & begins to feel pretty similar to a lot of your average cop & spy shows. And, if you've watched seasons 1 & 2, the plot twists (which tend to happen at every act break of every episode) begin to feel pretty predictable.However, it's not horrible. It takes far longer for the plot to take off, but has a second half just as good, if not better, than the previous two seasons with an excellent finale that sets up the six part series finale (aka season 4). That, and, the writers still do manage to surprise you now and again all season long. If you love the show, though, it's worth watching. But, if you haven't seen it, SERIOUSLY don't start here.

I love this season of Nikita

I love, love this series

My son loved it

Die Filme haben topzustand,alles Ok...leider keine Deutschen Substitels oder Deutsche Übersetzung...Wäre gut wenn man sie in Deutschland bekäme...Danke

Je n'aurais pas eu la patience d'attendre une semaine à l'autre et d'une saison à l'autre je n'aurais pas tenue...j'ai vu en rafale les 3 premières saisons et je me ronge les sangs à attendre la saison finale.Rythme soutenu, revirements constants, qui est bon qui est méchant, du vrai bonbon. Meilleur que les 2 films et que la série précédente.

Malgré un sujet plus difficile à traiter : que peut devenir la "Division" maintenant qu'elle n'est plus mauvaise et qu'elle n'est plus soutenue par une partie du gouvernement, les concepteurs s'en sortent fort bien. Il y a toujours autant d'actions et un peu plus de romantisme, surtout plus de manipulations psychologiques par cette démoniaque Amanda, ce qui n'est pas plus mal. Pas de manichéisme non plus, nos héros ne sont ni complètement bons ni vraiment mauvais, sauf cette peste d'Amanda. Une troisième série qui se regarde donc avec bonheur comme les précédentes.

buenisimo calidad estupenda la mejor serie que he visto en años la recomiendo esta y todas las demas temporadas ok
