Seriously folks, whether you watch the show or not, just check this vid out and watch Nikita kick ass for 4 minutes. :)
When the show started I fully expected not to like it, since I was a huge LFN fan back in the day and the thought of a remake made me irritated. But. How wrong I was. The show completely took the story in a fresh direction. Characters, both 'old' and new, are interesting. And things get even better when they start exploring their pasts.
So yes, my favourite new show this season. More people should watch it.

Threnody will give you a better idea of what to expect from the show. There are some spoilers in it, so beware if you want to stay completely unspoiled.
So yes, if strong, badass female characters are your thing, make sure to give Nikita a chance.
