Nikita Season 4

Nikita Season 4 has built a real following on and among viewers who want their action grounded in something real. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 537 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Maggie Q is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Nikita Season 4 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Nikita Season 4 its staying power. Nikita took over Division, and working alongside her fiancé Michael, her protégé Alex and a team of covert operatives, she vowed to capture all rogue Division agents and shut the place down. But she got more than she bargained for as Division's corrupting influence began to tear her family apart. Even worse, Nikita's nemesis, Amanda, set out to destroy her by teaming with the shadowy global organization known as The Group. Maggie Q and Shane West lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Nikita Season 4 is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Maggie Q's performance is the throughline that holds the bigger action elements together. Give it twenty minutes and decide — most viewers do not stop there.
