So Nikita is actually pretty good. Maggie Q is a perfectly plausible action hero (unlike most actresses who are going off a six week training program) who also speaks multiple foreign languages (her French in the second episode is quite good). The plot actually threw a couple twists I didn't see coming. And although the evil organization is clearly evil, some of the people working within it are more complex than they seem at first. Who knew that Tom Sawyer guy from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen could act effectively?

This show surprised the hell out of me, but I'm going to keep watching.
