Long story short: The CW’s Nikita reminds me of a teen version of Alias! You can’t go wrong with a hot cast, top secret government organizations and tons of action!
Who’s in it: The gorgeous Maggie Q (Mission Impossible III), Shane West from A Walk To Remember fame, and Lyndsy Fonseca (Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother)
What goes down in the first episode: Nikita (Maggie Q) is a trained assassin, thanks to a top secret government organization called Division, which trains social misfits to kill. Miserable as a killer, Nikita escaped from Division and is now the agency’s top priority target. Little does the agency know, their #1 guy happens to be Nikita’s former love (Shane West), and he can’t seem to let his top student go. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Nikita has implanted a spy in the form of a new Division assassin. From the looks of things, Nikita is going to come out on top.
Why you should watch: In addition to being smart and suspenseful, Nikita is action-packed and boasts one of the HOTTEST casts on TV. Sexy times…seriously.
Final thoughts: Just like with any new show, the first 20 minutes of Nikita — which I consider the teen version of my old fave, Alias — are slightly confusing and overly dramatic. Plot lines seem disjointed and the characters aren’t lovable…but that all changes by the end of the first episode, so you definitely should give it a chance when it premieres Sept. 9!

Does anyone remember Le Femme Nikita? Seems to be a rip-off of that show!
