La Femme Nikita, Season 2

The hit action series continues to explore the inner workings and missions carried out by the clandestine government organization known as Section One. Nikita (Peta Wilson) knows that life as she knew it is gone and, playing the role of the ruthless killer her employers think she is, she depends on her lethal skills and drop-dead looks to achieve her dangerous objectives. Michael (Roy Dupuis) remains an enigma, yet his actions suggest that he genuinely cares for Nikita. In addition to high-stakes action, season two highlights others in Section One: Madeline (Alberta Watson), the strategist who zeroes in on the emotional and psychological aspects of the recruits; Walter (Don Francks), who devises gadgets for the operatives; Birkoff (Matthew Ferguson), a computer genius whose talents are instrumental to Section's success; and Operations (Eugene Robert Glazer), the intelligence bureaucrat who designs the missions and makes "personnel" choices — like who will live and who will die.
