Bridget Fonda was wrong for the role in the unsuccessful 1993 remake "Point of No Return," but Australian Peta Wilson is terrific in the new version, tough and bitter and innocent at the same time...Sexy, sharply written (and, yes, violent), it's an exciting addition to the USA lineup of original programming. [13 Jan 1997]

Peta Wilson, an Australian actress with the harsh blonde hair, snub nose and oversize, depthless blue eyes of your average mass-produced doll, makes a sexy, amusing Nikita.

The series may not be original, but it is swift, engrossing and escapist. Sometimes that's all you want. [13 Jan 1997, p.C15]

It's fast-moving eye candy and that's about it. [12 Jan 1997, p.4]

For this series to wear well, the forces of evil have to locate some clear motivation. Revolutionary ideology, world domination, pure greed - almost anything would be better than the explanation offered by next week's chief villain, who clings to her missile launcher and declares, "This is what I am." [12 Jan 1997, p.03]

A show rises or falls on its writing, and there certainly isn't enough quality writing in tonight's premiere episode to recommend a return visit. [13 Jan 1997, p.D6]

"La Femme Nikita" (1997, 5 seasons, 96 eps, 1hr) is based on 1990's "Nikita" by Luc Besson. It's a glossy, highly production value series that breaks some interesting ground for the late '90s, especially her character's fashion choices. However, it ultimately fails for me in the plausibility department. Nikita should've been "cancelled" many times but was spared due to personal weakness exhibited by an emotionless, enigmatic "Michael". Nikita quickly loses her insecurities and vulnerabilities and exhibits an unearned contempt for Section One, and is in fact insubordinate during missions so many times, it's just ridiculous she wasn't immediately sent down the trash chute. She's an assassin with a conscience and makes for "aw c'mon" tv. It's not an awful show, it just doesn't excel to meet its potential.

En effet, notre fameux ‘Nikita’ (l’un des -très- rares chefs-d’oeuvre de Luc Besson) a connu quelques adaptations ici et là dont cette série à la godille fait partie… pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Mais surtout pour le pire en fait. Nonobstant néanmoins dans le rôle-titre, une très jolie blonde aux yeux bleu clair, grande, sportive, féminine, sexy… un vrai top model en fait ! dommage qu’elle joue comme un pied… le reste de la distribution n’en mène pas large non plus, cela dit : tous unis dans la nullité, de même que les scénars de nanars en treize mille épisodes (4 saisons de 22, plus une 5ème de 8, rien que ça, bonjour les dégâts !). C’est tellement mal fait que ça fait pitié, pour tout dire et à ce niveau-là, ce n’est même plus une question de moyens mis en oeuvre mais de simple incompétence caractérisée dans tous les compartiments et à tous égards ! d’ailleurs, même la musique (agitée et trop forte) s’avère à côté de la plaque. Dans ces épouvantables conditions, je n’ai pas été en mesure de finir le premier épisode, malgré la bien jolie blonde (car la beauté ne suffit pas, il faut… tout le reste qui va avec, surtout dans une série télé !). Mais je mets 1 quand même, car je suis grand seigneur.
