I pretty much liked the first season very much, but season 2 of this seems to have abandoned parts of the shows original concept, i simply miss. It also adds things i could do without. SPOILERS
First of all Alex wears a lot of makeup now, walks in high heels and seems to be on something like a mindless fashion rampage. Madame Udinov or not, the changes are unbelievable. Alex wouldn't change like that. Alex is different. I want Alex back. Second i miss the angle of Division as a training camp for new recruits. We have that as visual background still in a few episodes but that's all it is, there is no story attached to it anymore. Division was great as a manipulating entity but somehow in Season two Division seems much less threatening. The place has become somewhat boring. Third, Nikita is together with her big love from Division, so the interesting dynamics between them (attraction/professionally different goals) has been annihalted.
To sum it up: This show has lost its spice, no, let me correct that, it seems a decision has been made to throw it out of the window. The A-Team kept us entertained for years without any change in its base concept. So did 24 and many other shows. "Nikita" however has steered away from its basics and suffers accordingly.
It's still a good action show, first season 10 points, second? Only seven. It's still a good meal that show, but it's not the feast it used to be. To bad.
