And hey someone had to make this page The premise of the story is that Nikita (Peta Wilson) is a homeless street urchin who finds herself wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to die. Recruited by a mysterious organization known as Section One, she is trained as an assassin and paired with an operative known as Michael. Each episode would take Nikita up against various criminals and terrorists or her own employers. A frequent theme of a season would be Nikita attempting to escape Section One. The show is notable for its remarkably dark and unforgiving story lines, especially for the time it was run. La Femme Nikita's employers were utterly ruthless and often treated their operatives as less than tools. Likewise, Nikita's own morality was not always justified against the kind of monsters she routinely faced. The series was also known for its soundtrack and the easy way to determine what season an episode was in: the number of words in a title was the season number. A season 2 episode always had a 2 word title. A remake, Nikita, was launched for the 2010-2011 season on the CW. In this series, Nikita, played by Maggie Q, is already rogue and is trying to take down her former employers. At the same time, the series also features a new recruit and tells the story of how a nobody gets turned into an assassin, although there is, naturally, a twist to this.
