La Femme Nikita is a television adaptation of Luc Besson’s seminal 1990 film Nikita. It ran for five seasons and 96 episodes on the USA Network and starred Peta Wilson as the title character.
The series explored insights about moral issues emerging from the paradoxical nature of a counterterrorism organization which resorts to terrorist methods to succeed in its own ostensibly altruistic goals, and the attendant dilemmas in which the generally unwilling operatives in such an organization find themselves. Nikita's unwavering belief in a kind of moral absolutism consistently and coherently motivates the underlying dramatic plot conflicts in the majority of the episodes.
