The story takes place in modern-day America. The female lead, Nikita, was originally a death row inmate. Her life changed completely after she was rescued by "Division," a secret government organization...
She was told that she had been given a chance to start over and could serve the country.
But in reality, she was trained to be a cold-blooded killer.
Three years later, Nikita escaped...
Now she's back, with only one goal – to completely destroy Division.
The reason for her revenge is simple: Division killed her fiancé.
From this moment on, we know that Nikita is no ordinary person, and her life will embark on a path of revenge at all costs...
She also planted an undercover agent, "Alex," within Division.
This girl has a similar tragic experience to Nikita. Trained secretly by Nikita, she becomes an internal spy...
A two-front battle begins. You might think she's trying to save Alex? Unexpectedly, she is the bigger chess player...
Maggie Q's action scenes are quite stunning; every fight leaves people dumbfounded.
It's not the kind of showy and ineffective performance, but real, hard-hitting, intense combat...
The gunfight scenes are also uncompromising, with very professional action designs that make people's adrenaline surge.
Coupled with CW's production standards, this drama is extremely enjoyable to binge-watch...
The character Nikita, on the surface, is a cold-blooded killer, but in fact, she still maintains the bottom line of humanity in her heart...
She has no background or resources. She relies on turning people's hearts, rules, and her own body into weapons step by step.
The plot rhythm is fast, with twists in every episode. There are not many lines, but the screen is full of tension...
Revenge, betrayal, and redemption are all portrayed in a straightforward and direct manner.
As an internal undercover agent, Alex provides Nikita with key intelligence. Their relationship is both that of a master and an apprentice, and that of a savior and the saved...
But at the end of the season, when Alex discovers that Nikita killed her father during a mission many years ago, this relationship completely breaks down.
You thought she was going to save her? Unexpectedly, she is the biggest variable...
The complexity of the character relationships makes the whole drama both exciting and satisfying.
Although the plot is a bit melodramatic, everything from the actors' performances to the action design and soundtrack production is impeccable.
At the end of the first season, Nikita successfully stopped Percy's plan to take over the CIA, but she was also forced to flee with Michael, laying a good foundation for the follow-up...
Such an explosive plot naturally caused quite a bit of controversy.
Many netizens commented that this is a satisfying drama in the cloak of a spy story, even more exciting than palace intrigue dramas...
Others found it extremely enjoyable, straightforwardly saying that there's no fault in turning to the dark side, as long as it's good-looking, that's all that matters.
Between morality and pleasure, this drama precisely stands at the peak of controversy.
Of course, Nikita does not blindly advocate violence and revenge.
For that betrayed woman, abiding by the rules will only lead to eternal doom. Perhaps only by using the games of revenge and power can she seize the initiative from fate...
She is a victim, and even more so, a perpetrator.
This sounds extreme, but it is Nikita's true belief and the driving force that pushes her step by step towards the peak of revenge...
