Nikita (revival) |
La Femme Nikita (1997-2001) is a spy drama about the agents of a secret anti-terrorist government organization called Section One that ostensibly does good while operating under a mandate of pure evil. The story centers on Nikita (Peta Wilson), framed for murder and taken from death row to work for Section One, and her relationship with Michael (Roy Dupuis), a distant and damaged super agent who is her trainer, her mentor, and eventually, her lover.
What makes a series a cult classic? Whatever it is, La Femme Nikita has it. Although it was a low budget production that aired on USA, La Femme Nikita attracted a core audience of loyal and completely obsessed fans. I loved the darkness and paranoia of Section One and the forbidden love affair between Michael and Nikita. In fact, I became such a fan of Roy Dupuis that I reviewed many of his movies and television appearances.
