LFN is one of my all time favorites. The cast is absolutely wonderful, the writing is brilliant and the soundtrack is exceptional.
The series altogether is exciting, unpredictable, luring and very sensual. At first glance you might think it's only some blonde chick blowing up buildings, but there's a great depth to all the main characters that slowly unravels throughout the series. The use of innovative technology is quite striking for 1997 which makes it even more appealing.
Aside for being drop dead gorgeous, Peta Wilson does a wonderful job in bringing great vulnerability and emotion to the character of Nikita. The progress of the character throughout the series is credible and convincing. Roy Dupuis as Michael is absolutely fascinating. Alberta Watson is amazing as well as the supporting cast. Most importantly, the chemistry between the actors, especially Peta and Roy, is mesmerizing and just a joy to watch.
The only reason LFN doesn't get a 10 from me is S4, which almost from the start suffered greatly from bad writing to the point of ruining most beloved characters, as well as its finale which was horrid for most LFN fans. Luckily they salvaged what they could with the short S5 which leaves you with a good taste. S2 is the absolute best in my opinion although the whole of the first 3 seasons is excellent. If you watch S4, be sure not to miss S5 though :)
I believe this series is wonderful to watch even in 2011 and I highly recommend it as one of the best ever made.
