Editorial/Description:Product Description: "You're one of us now" Nikita is told. But has she truly abandoned her compassionate nature and become an unquestioning member of the soulless covert organization called Section One? Or has she mastered the group's knack for deceit and cover-up so efficiently that she can beat Section at its own game? The sleek chic and powerful adventures of the agent codenamed Josephine continue in Season Three of the intrigue-filled five-year series that stars Peta Wilson in the title role. Season three is marked by the unveiling of Michael's secret life Nikita and Michael's romantic relationship and the further suspicion about the true nature of Section One.Running Time: 978 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 012569681484 Amazon.com: Tensions between reluctant superspy Nikita (Peta Wilson) and her shadowy bosses at Section One couldn't be more rocky at the launch of La Femme Nikita's third season, and things definitely go from bad to worse. And it's not just Nikita who's having issues with her boss, Operations (Eugene Robert Glazer), but also Michael (Roy Dupuis), who experiences a major loss of power after being passed over for the Chief Strategist position ("Third Party Ripoff"), and fellow agents Walter (Don Francks) and Birkoff (Matthew Ferguson); the situation gets so bad that at one point, they consider jumping ship ("Slipping Into Darkness"). And if that's not enough complication and intrigue, Michael and Nikita's romantic inclinations finally take root, much to the consternation of Section One and Madeline (Alberta Watson), who attempts to nix their relationship, forcing the pair to meet behind her back ("Playing with Fire"). All this, plus a pair of deadly terrorist siblings ("Threshold of Pain"), and a modeling agency that fronts as a combo brothel/gladiator arena ("Hand to Hand"), adds up to another exciting season. Season 3's six-disc set includes all 22 episodes, with commentary by Eugene Glazer on two shows--the season opener, "Looking for Michael," on which he's joined by director Jon Cassar, and the finale, "On Borrowed Time," which also features writer/production consultant Peter Lenkov. Glazer and Cassar also offer comments on a 13-minute battery of 10 deleted scenes from various episodes, while Cassar, Lenkov, and executive consultant Joel Surnow (24) are featured on an eight-minute featurette about production designer Rocco Matteo. And lest first-time viewers consider La Femme Nikita a laugh-free show, there's even a three-minute gag reel to lighten the mood. The season 3 set should be the perfect six-course meal to tide over devoted Nikita-ites--until the season 4 set, of course. --Paul Gaita
Customer Reviews:
Great season!
July 5, 2008
I first watched La Femme Nikita years ago, but felt the need to re-visit the series this year and Season 3 won't let you down. Things get interesting between Micheal and Nikita and so many classic Section One moments that you won't want to miss! I think it's just a fun series [despite the all-black dress code and somber demeanor] and you will always have a laugh analyzing every mission profile and the points where they can't find someone in their database.
An excellent program on a slippery sloap
March 7, 2008
Viewing the show, and season three in particular, I often find myself wondering if the creators, producers and others ever grasped the amazing potential of the show; (See my review of Season one). Season three should be called "Le Femme Nikita: How Many Ways Can We Drive A Wedge Between Nikita and Michael (After We Spent Two Season Getting Them Together)?" If it were not for the awesome performances by the cast the show would have slipped into oblivion for me. The writing, editing, directing, and composition of the episodes were not even close to that of season one. Conversely, production remained outstanding and the "B story lines" continued to expand, although Carlo Rota's unexplainable character--while exceptionally well performed--was too uncharacteristic of the Nikita environment. The commentaries state the character was intended to instill some humor; well, in my opinion, it failed to do so. Moreover, it is clear from the commentaries that the powers that be had become overly confident it the liberties they could take in what they did with the story line. I, for one, grew disgusted with the "psychological" fantasies portrayed in the episodes because it corroded the interpersonal relationships into silly, impossibly unreal characterizations.
So, why the five star rating? Because of the brilliant performances--especially by Peta Wilson, Don Francks, and Mathew Ferguson--and because at its' core, Le Femme Nikita is great entertainment.

I was really impressed with the speed of the delivery. Oh, I can not complain about the excellent condition of the DvD's either.

DVDs were damaged. Every episode had places where the disc would freeze up or skip.
Love it but found a little flaw
May 26, 2007
I'm a big Peta Wilson fan and I recommend buying the DVDs but I just noticed a little flaw on disc 4 episode 3 with the storyline about Sarah. Near the end when Nikita rushes to save Sarah from getting herself killed, as she jumps from the stairwell, you can totally see that the woman is a stunt double, her face is COMPLETELY different and she looks nothing like Peta. Then you see Peta when she hits the ground. Anyone else notice that?
