There is so much eye candy in this cable thriller, most of it supplied by Maggie Q in the starring role, that you can feel your head getting fatter with each episode. But so what? Q is beautiful to look at, but she also has some serious fighting skills, and passable acting chops, to make the role more than pretty posing. Her equally pretty costars, particularly Lyndsay Fonseca as her secret sidekick and Shane West as her friendly nemesis are also effective in their perspective parts. If the scripts were a bit more believable, Nikita would be an excellent way to waste an hour or two. Unfortunately, the story of a rogue government agent (Q) fighting to bring down the black-ops operation that made a killer out of her is stretched too thin over the course of the full season. Of course, if you are worrying about the plot points, then you haven’t been paying enough attention watching Q strut across the screen.
