yeh Maggie is Hot, i first saw her in Naked Weapon HK film and looks like she is taking on another spy/killer role since she did it so well in the first place

[shawshankraj]

She also star in MI-3 and in Die hard-4...

"La Femme Nikita" (1997)
La Femme Nikita (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

for a revamp they just need more of everything, more speed, more drama, hotter girls, more girls , hopefully more story this time

[saebrtooth]

that title "Naken Weapon" was one of those non-symbolic titles hehe

[yoco]

On which production house is this show? I give it 1 season max!

hehe, another attempt to profit from a known (cult) series name

the main actress is obviously not physically capable of being a top agent/assassin, its more likely she would fall prey to anyone carrying a plate of food

the previous nikita series (canadian) had a trashy feeling to it, but likeable characters and was fun to watch:

La Femme Nikita (1997)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118379/

this one looks more like the usual hollywood bling-bling nonsense

The general (stupid) public likes a pretty face better than a believable character

[saebrtooth]

well then call me stupid

[majorram007]

[tokiodrift1]

it might be a hot potato for the first couple of shows and then it'll turn out to be a real flop, probably. That's the way many TV shows are nowadays...they are good for a season or 2 and then they flop. It's an indication of the producer's skill and ingenuity in show production, IMO.
