First 5 episodes. Great series. My wife and I were hooked from episode 1. Full of action and gunfights. Maggie Q is hot as well as Lyndsy Fonseca
There was a cameo of Stan Lee in episode 5 (The Guardian).
PQ is outstanding. Very clean, detailed and crisp. SQ is solid.
If you like Alias, Dollhouse then you will love Nikita!
Yes, it pays to have watched the original Nikita and Bridget Fonda's Assassin to appreciate the story.
