If you want action that respects the story underneath it, Nikita is available in the US on Hoopla, and in the UK on Amazon Prime Video right now. 4 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 537 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Maggie Q is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. Available now on Hoopla — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Nikita is worth clearing space for. The choreography in Nikita serves the story instead of interrupting it. Nikita will stop at nothing to expose and destroy Division, the secret U.S. Agency who trained her as a spy and assassin. The physicality Maggie Q and Shane West bring elevates every sequence. 4 seasons (2010–2013) gave the story room most shows never get. The geography of every set piece in Nikita is legible, which is rarer in the genre than it should be. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Nikita is the kind of thing you put on to unwind and find yourself sitting forward twenty minutes in. Viewers who responded to Citadel will find a lot to like here too. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Maggie Q brings a physicality to the role that elevates every set piece. Action that earns its sequences rather than just delivering them.

Nikita wrapped up in 2013, created by Craig Silverstein — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
