Nikita: S01 - 2010 - 6/10

Watched this on and off for over a year.
I got this after doing a search for “most violent TV series,” scanning the usual entries, reading at the top of the list, “… and then there’s Nikita.”
The opening is sexy and has a nice body count. Also lays the groundwork for what the arc will be.
Nikita used to be a top assassin for a clandestine government agency known as Division, now gone rogue.
Nikita herself turned rogue against Division, and each episode sees her trying to thwart one of their ops.
By turns interesting and predictable.
Worst fudge is Nikita’s mole, Alex, who crawls through air ducts searching for secrets.
Yes - air ducts. Not the ones in your home or office. Think 4 feet by 4 feet. You know, the ducts that are piped in submarines and spaceships.
Body count sags midway, though the deaths and conspiracies rally at the end.
Decent twists. Better for bingers, which I am not. Also - a big plus - the draw of Maggie Q.
There are only four seasons, and from what I read, Nikita does reach a conclusion.
