Product Description

From Amazon.com

Longtime La Femme Nikita fans and newcomers alike will enjoy this six-disc boxed set, which compiles the syndicated television series' entire first season, and shows why it garnered a devoted audience throughout its five-season run (1997-2001): it's a fast-paced, action-packed mixture of sex appeal (thanks to the statuesque form of its star, Australian actress Peta Wilson) and intricately plotted espionage thrills. Producers Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran (who later created 24) hewed the series' framework closely to its inspiration--Luc Besson's 1990 theatrical feature of the same name--save for one change. Where the movie Nikita is a drug-addicted thug, Wilson's Nikita is a street-savvy homeless woman. The pilot, "Nikita" (on disc 1), details her introduction to the underground spy network known as Section One: facing a death sentence after a trumped-up murder charge, Nikita is approached by the mysterious Michael (Roy Dupuis), who offers her a new identity as an anti-terrorist operative. The subsequent 21 episodes in the set offer plenty of action and suspense, as well as a compelling character in Nikita, who struggles constantly with the deception and bloodshed that are unavoidable aspects of her assignments. The set concludes with a dramatic season finale, disc 6's "Mercy," which forces Nikita to deal with some hard truths about her future and her feelings for Michael.

If having the complete first season in one set doesn't please series fans, the supplemental features will surely satisfy even the iciest armchair operative. Disc 1 offers commentary by Surnow, Cochran, and director Jon Cassar on "Nikita" as well as commentary by Surnow for deleted scenes from several episodes (also on discs 2, 3, and 6); disc 6 features Surnow's comments on "Mercy," as well as "Section One Declassified: The Making of La Femme Nikita," which features interviews with the cast and creators. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond words!, Dec 13 2004
By 
cottoneye (Québec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Femme Nikita: The Complete First Season (6 Discs) (DVD)
This show is soooo good! I wasn't able to watch it all the time on Tv when it aired because I was 14 and the show aired at 11PM (I used to watch it In French so the chemistry between Micheal and Nikita wasn't as good as in the original version either). One day, I was shopping and I saw the Dvds and even though I wasn't a ''fan'' i decided to buy it, remembering that my father loved it. Since that day, i'm hooked! Even if the show was made in the late 90's, it still seems real and believable, which is rare in a techno show. I was also able to buy Season 2 on DVD (had to bid on ebay...) and I still want more!!! Its a shame Seasons 3-4-5 probably wont come out...since the season 2 is supposed to come out in ... 2010... sigh

4.0 out of 5 stars Still the best, Nov 8 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: La Femme Nikita: The Complete First Season (6 Discs) (DVD)
This was a superbly produced and acted series. People all over have noted how many of the concepts of Alias seem to have been "inspired" by this series, especially during Alias' first season. Alias has better production values (because of a lot more money avaialbe per episode), and is a suspenseful series in its own right, but this is still the best.

While Jennifer Garner is beautiful and gets to wear fancier clothes, Peta Wilson is much more credible (Yes, guys, she's easy on the eyes as well). You actually Believe she is capable of doing the things here character does. Again, not taking away from Alias, it's just that this series was so much better. The plots were more intriguing and didn't depend on things just working out. You could actually see how the story got to there from here, and you accepted it. The actions of the protagonists, both good and bad and the moral numbness that many of the characters developed really came through. How Nikita kept here sanity and values through all she went through is handled very well.

So, why not give it 5 stars? Simply put: the price. Not Amazon's, they give a healthy discount, but the list price set by Warner on which Amazon's price is based. At $99.98 vs. $69.98 for Alias or $59.98 for Angel (not really in this genre but a great show), even with Amazon's good pricing a lot of people are going to be put off by the cost. Too bad. They're going to miss a great entertainment. Maybe Warner will wise up and price this set more realistically so that there will be enough sales to justify getting the rest of the series out on DVD.

Still, this show is the best!

This review is from: La Femme Nikita: The Complete First Season (6 Discs) (DVD)
I agree this is a LOT of money for 1 season... Friends is 50$ but just has 4 dvd. Maybe 80$ would have been enough.
