Nikita Ratings & Reviews
- darthtoonSeptember 3, 2025I loved the Original La Femme Nikita, but this is done really well in it's own right.
- CallumNovember 3, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Nikita – Redemption, Revenge, and the Spy Who Refused to Break Nikita isn’t just another spy thriller — it’s a razor-edged ballet of vengeance and redemption. Maggie Q leads with quiet ferocity, portraying a rogue operative on a mission to dismantle the covert agency that turned her into a weapon. Every mission is personal, every ally a potential traitor, and every victory comes at a moral cost. For its era, this was cutting-edge spy TV — all encrypted feeds, shadowy ops, and fight choreography that hits with purpose. The hacking scenes may look a touch quaint now, but at the time, they felt slick and futuristic. The cast reflects the clichés of its day — “mysterious Asian agent,” “Russian antagonist” — yet transcends them through strong performances. Lyndsy Fonseca’s Alex, the double agent torn between duty and empathy, gives the show an emotional backbone that makes the explosions matter. Nikita walks the line between grit and glamour. It’s darker than most of its contemporaries yet refuses to lose hope. The result? A taut, stylish spy drama that delivers intelligence and heart in equal measure. Pairing: A dirty martini — elegant, dangerous, and perfectly shaken, much like the woman at the centre of it all.
