Abducted by a rogue black-ops governmental agency, Division,
Nikita uses the specialized training they gave her in a struggle to bring them
down, especially the leader, Percy.
She's intelligent, strong, brave, moral (doesn't kill if she can avoid
it and tries hard not to hurt innocent bystanders) and a martial arts and
weapons expert--sort of what James Bond might be as a woman, except she doesn't
screw at every opportunity like 007 does. She's quite attractive, but rarely
looks or acts sexy.
Helping her is another young woman, Alex, whom Nikita has
planted inside Division to feed Nikita information. If Alex is caught, she'll
be killed.
The characters are reasonable for an adventure series,
though Percy is painted a little too evil for my tastes. I like more mixed villains. Perhaps I should complain that Nikita herself
is too noble and talented, but I also like competent heroes (and heroines), and
she certainly is that. The episodes are
exciting, with a good mix of action scenes, quieter contemplation, and emotion. The music is stirring, but not memorable.
Most of the episodes are linked, and they build to some
extent on each other, so it is better to watch the series in order. The first episode starts with Alex being
abducted by division. This confused me
at first because I thought it was Nikita herself being abducted. Once I figured it out, I had no problems
following the action.
This is one of the most exciting and enjoyable videos I've
found. I give it a five - +++++. It will get your pulse up to a sprint, and
you'll forget you're working out.
