I didn't expect much out of nikita dvd box set but I was wrong. Nikita is now the new 24, and Maggie Q the new Kiefer Sutherland. Expect intelligent plots, hairpin twists, and conveniently advanced technology, in a spy-v-spy drama that is light on the violence Orange Juice and heavy on characterization and humanity - all done while basically looking supermodel-esque fabulous.
I also appreciate the very international nature of the plot, with backdrops from Santiago to Tashkent, and spoken languages in the show from Cantonese (Maggie's is legit, Percy's is wince-inducing) to Russian (Maggie's sounds 100% legit, perhaps Russian-speakers can chime in on this). So good to see real EFFORT in nikita dvd box set days.
My friends are -not- going to believe I just wrote that sentence. But Nikita deserves it.
