Nikita: The Complete Second Season

Excellent Action Series I will be watching all four seasons.

+++Warning, this contains minor spoilers from season one, but no major season two giveaways.+++ Season two picks up right after the events of season one, with Nikita and Alex's relationship effectively having ended and Nikita and Michael's relationship restored. Now, Nikita and Michael are on the run with a hard drive called "the black box" containing the Division's darkest secrets and they plan to right the wrongs that Division has committed over the years. This allows the show to keep the procedural case-of-the-week format and then tie in larger serial arcs throughout the season. This season sees Miranda in charge of Division and Percy locked up in a cell in the basement, with Miranda manipulating Alex to keep tracking Nikita down. The season does have some twists and turns, which are, like the case-of-the-week elements, sometimes work and are sometimes silly. It does not ever stray too far from the formulaic approach, which I think is partly good and partly bad. For those who get the Blu-Ray set, the show looks and sounds great in HD. The extras include a commentary track on the season finale, a documentary on the writers and the writing process, a feature on Maggie Q's health and nutrition regimen, just under half an hour's worth of deleted scenes, and a short gag reel. So, a decent amount of extras especially for a show that has more of a cult following than it does wide, mass appeal. Overall, the season is good. You definitely have to like action shows (or movies) whose plots can get a bit silly at times and be willing to just go with it. If you overanalyze things too much, you will definitely not enjoy it. The fight scenes are good and all of the actors do a great job with their characters. Melinda Clarke's role as Amanda is expanded a lot this season, and as she did on The OC, when she got more of a leading role, she crushes it. As in the first season, there is a lot of violence and some sexual content. Obviously, since it aired on regular broadcast TV they could not get too extreme with either, but they do take every opportunity to show off Maggie Q in skimpy outfits. Just, just be aware if that is an issue for you.

Seasons 1 and 2 of Nikita were some really awesome TV. I'd liked the old La Feme Nikita alright, only saw season 2 and 3 I bought on sale, but in my opinion the remake is a lot more plausible, even if it's still a thoroughly implausible show. What I mean is that so many people are double, super secret, triple agents with secret pasts, it really run similar to that old 90's Spider man cartoon where basically everybody he knows ends up as a super hero or villain by the end. Heck, they have to fill episodes and it's enjoyable if you don't question things too deeply so who cares? Anyway, season 2 has some really good arcs and I loved Percy's return from caged animal to something else by the end. He was my favorite character in the entire show because he was just so dedicated and not exactly evil, but ruthless in getting what he wanted. The bits where they made him physically impressive were a bit much for me, sort of like the old Stargate SG1 where Carter was not only a scientist, but a perfect shot, a decent cook, and always attractively made up. People tend to have a flaw or two, which is why the scientist guy from Stargate Atlantis was better IMHO, because he was brilliant, but a neurotic wreck who wasn't that great in combat. One of the signture bits of Percy's whole presence in the series is the last episode where he gets out of a situation and I don't want to give away any spoilers, so the part in that episode where he does something highly objectionable because he was in a rush. I won't give away whether he sneaks away, ends up dumped in a deep dank hole to rot, or meets an untimely end, but this was the last season he appeared in and so this was the season I feel the show peaked. In short, get the first season and get this one and you'll not be disappointed. The third and final season (a paltry 6 episode wrap up) change the dynamic of the series for better or worse, worse in my opinion but tastes vary, though still I'd consider them worth picking up to complete the set. Just be ready to binge watch because if you miss episodes you'll quickly become lost.

The heir apparent to Peta is fantastic. I first fell in love with Maggie Q in Live Free and Die Hard (the little Nija witch). So when I learned she had a Nikita show I tuned in and I was not disappointed. Spandex, short skirts and bikinis she is hot and lethal. She not only has lines but knows how to deliver them as well. They kept the character of Birkhoff (had to give Joel Surnow's family a WGAG character royalty), as well as a WGAW bump to Luc Besson who started that whole thing, as well as the people who did Point of No Return (Amanda is their character, aptly played in this show by one of my other favorites, Melinda Clarke who was Grissom's gal pal in CSI and Mal's love interest in a Firefly episode). Xander Berkeley is just as dandy as the evil head of the place as was Eugene Robert Glazer in La Femme. Shane West was given another La Femme first name of Michael (I remember him from Ocean's Eleven the remake, I think he was the guys who put down mixed hearts and diamonds and thought he won the pot in the game with the other actors!). Craig Silverstein (late of his one season entry Standoff, as well as Bones and Terra Nova) updated this show brilliantly (Percy and Lyndsy Fonseca's Alex are his character creations as well as the format). As I said, You can't go wrong with a Nikita, be it French, Canadian or a Point of No Return they're all great and Maggie Q is carrying on the tradition in such a viciously sexy manner! If you like shows like Covert Affairs or Alias this is your cup of tea!

Love this series. Seasons 1-2 were the best but needed season 4 for closure

Great spin off from the French film of the same name (Or the slightly disappointing The Assassin) The second series gets far more deeply into the characters as the plot thickens. This is a good series with many unexpected twists. (Trying for no spoilers). I imported this as Amazon UK could not give me dates. The only disappointment is that the digital copy is US based. and despite the fact I record everything to my digital recorder so I can fast forward through the ad.'s I cannot download to Itunes let alone my Ipad or Iphone. UV copies are rubbish!

Good Season. Somewhat love the divide and the divide eventually causes unity to come back as the 2 women of the series learn what they are both fighting for. Each other.

Great program

Season1のImport版もそうでしたが Season2も安定の日本語音声・字幕ありです(*'ω｀*) 内容はというと Nikita, Alex, Michaelの過去にグイグイと迫ってます！ 各国の諜報機関・暗殺機関 vs Nikitaの間での騙し合い も面白くて目が離せません。 今回も一気見してしまいました。。。 しかも、本国アメリカでは既にSeason3が放送開始して るというではないですか！！ 日本で見られるのはまた1年ぐらい先なのでしょうね。 ↓こちらはSeason1のImport版です♪安くて安心です♪ Nikita: Complete First Season [Blu-ray] [Import ] Nikita: Complete First Season [DVD] [Import ]

Cette seconde seconde est magistrale, le ton est différent des autres saisons : l'action est au rendez-vous et une dose d'humour bien amenée aussi ! Chaque protagoniste est très bien travaillé, on reconnait bien chaque personnalité, et aucun artifice scénaristique n'est là pour faire ombre au tableau ! Une grande prouesse !

All episodes are really well written - I appreciate the complex nature of the show - product shipped great - arrived great & barring a 15 mile ride to pick them up at the nearest Post Office (Instead of delivered to my address - starting to pee my off) - the purchase was well worth the money.

Como decía el producto era de segunda mano pero llegó precintado y hasta con la etiqueta antialarmas. Todo impoluto. Solo aclarar que creo que no es la edición de Reino Unido sino la de Estados Unidos (por ello los subtítulos están en inglés, francés y español), pero es región Free, así que funciona genial.

ottimo da consigliare a chi piace questo genere di film in dvd o altro genere piace moltissimo e non solo
