Only reason I gave this a 9 is because it ended one of the best TV series of all time in my opinion. Magie Q was outstanding as Nikita, for me she was the perfect actress for this role, as good if not better than Keifer Sutherlands Jack Bower in 24.
Amanda having a lookalike was a bit far fetched and I could not see why she would hae one. The way lookalikes were popping up I half expected a return or Percy. Some of the plot got a bit silly and I kept thinking, no just kill Amanda and finish this, but the twist at the very end was superb and I didn't see it coming.
I would say that it is unusual for a show to have so many great characters, maybe apart from Heroes.
Shaun West as Michael was perfectly cast and Aaron Stanfords, Seymore (or is it Lionel?) Birkhoff became one of my favourite characters probably worthy of a spin off show? Alex played brilliantly by Lyndsy Fonseca was a perfect mix of beautiful, vulnerable and disturbed and Melinda Clarke as Amanda was suitably evil. I agree with the other poster that it was a shame Sonya played by Lindie Greenwood wasn't involved much at all as she was a great character who could hae been used more. Noah Bean as Ryan Fletcher came across as a brilliant actor and his death was a sad shock.
So it is a sad day that Nikita has ended but the ending did leave a possibility of this fantastic show being revived sometime in the future. I for one hope so.
