Nikita Redux

[jdotmi]

So, I mentioned before you should watch Nikita if it ever shows up on the CW site as a full episode a few days ago.

Now's your chance.

If you've enjoyed any spy dramas before, give this one a shot. It's surprisingly good.

Is this as good as the one with the Blonde-I-Can't-Remember-Her-Name? :D That show was surprisingly intense.

Petra Wilson? I think that was her name.

It's much different from that. This is set after Nikita gets out of the biz, and she's going back to take them down pretty much. It is pretty good. The pilot obviously does a lot of setting up the backstory and whatnot, but it's still good.

Plus shit blows up.

Damn you, I have now added this to my DVR list.

... if only for "Michael."

I actually haven't seen much of the previous Nikita shows or movies, so I'm actually basing this in comparison to Alias. Which it does so favorably.

You know, he doesn't really do much for me at this point. But overall I'm liking what I'm seeing. I actually never watched Alias, but I've seen the original Nikita film and the American remake of it.
