Summary: Still a great show
Comment: Having praised the first season, I must say, that while the show is still very good, the second season is not as good as the first season. My overall sense is that the powers that be unfortunately saw only one thing in their very powerful show: the "chemistry" between Peta Wilson (Nikita) and Roy Dupuis (Michael). In many respects season two is a repeat of season one, only with the focus on Roy's character, Michael. Yes, the stories are different, but the themes and statements about relationships are the same. As openly stated in the commentaries, they producers/staff were focusing on the "sexual tension" that Roy and Peta engendered in their performances--a huge mistake, from my perspective, that nearly stalled the show. Again, I feel that the best attribute of season one was that the show took a "hard look at the realities of relationships mirrored by the microscopic world of Nikita." Sadly, the second season failed to fully build on that foundation, and instead focused on "teasing" viewers with the never ending "sexual tension." I personally did not care for the character reversals of Michael and Nikita; indeed, I often felt I was watching "Le Femme Michael" instead of Le Femme Nikita. On the other hand, the second season did incorporate what I believe is referred to as a "B story line;" that is, the development of other characters in the Nikita environment: Operations, Madeline, Walter, and Birkoff. In doing so, they introduced more varied forms of relationships that ultimately--and thankfully--saved the show. In spite of my stated "problems" with the second season, overall the second season still provided outstanding performances, and many of my comments about the first season hold true for the second season.
Please keep in mind that I never saw the show on television, and, therefore, my observations are based upon viewing the episodes from the DVD box set. As for "missing" extras or other "problems" other reviewers have found with the quality of the DVDs, I again must state that this is a late 1990s show made on a small budget and packaging/description errors do happen. Conversely, I would agree that it would be nice to hear a commentary or two by Peta Wilson; but, in the final analysis, it is the opportunity to watch an outstanding television show--sans ads--that is most important.

Summary: Awesome....
Comment: As far as the actual product is concerned, I was completely satisfied with the condition, and delivery speed, and all that. But the shows themselves - La Femme Nikita is our (my wife's and my) most favorite show of all time! It went off the air after "911" and has not been back, so finally purchasing all 5 seasons was a dream come true. Thank you everyone!

Summary: La Femme Nikita Season 1 And Season 2 Boxset Errors!!!
Comment: I am a huge fan of La Femme Nikita and when I purchased Season One boxset off Ebay I was so thrilled and couldn't wait to watch it. But I noticed that all the special features that were advertised are not on the discs, maybe one or two deleted scenes but that's it. What happened to the "Making Of La Femme Nikita and interviews with cast and creators. On Disc One it says to check out discs 2,3 and 6 for more special features and there aren't any!!!
Then I purchased Season Two and the same thing there, only two or three deleted scenes and that's it!!! And also on Disc 5 Episode 18 which is called "Off Profile" is actually episode 21 which is "Adrian's Garden". Then on Disc 6 I looked at episode 21 called "Adrian's Garden" and thought that maybe that would be "Off Profile" and it was once again the same Episode "Adrian's Garden". So I have the same episode twice and I am missing one Episode. I have a funny feeling that these discs are not the originals and I am hoping to get a refund. If it doesn't happen I will report this seller to Ebay for selling Bootleg Copies.
Could someone write and say whether they have noticed the same thing on their Season 1 and Season 2 as well. Would really like to know what's going on here.

Summary: La Femme Two
Comment: The second season is very well done. The characters seem to show more depth
and the story line keeps you guessing.
