The fourth season of the espionage action series La Femme Nikita might've been its last, were it not for a heroic effort to revive the show by its fans. Since the campaign was a success, the fourth season remains an exciting chapter in the cult series' history, and one with a startling denouement that left audiences begging for more. The crux of the series pits Section One's sinister head, Operations (Robert Eugene Glazer) against Nikita's partner/lover Michael (Roy Dupuis), who has been deemed expendable; meanwhile, Michael must find a way to deprogram Nikita (Peta Wilson) from the brainwashing that has turned into a destructive killing machine. Highlights from this season include the two-parter "Man in the Middle" and "Love, Honor and Cherish," which finds Nikita betrothed to a wealthy industrialist (Maxwell Caulfield) who is Section's next target; "No One Lives Forever," in which Nikita is granted her freedom in exchange for the murder of the man who killed her father (whose identity is one of the season's most gasp-worthy surprises); and the three-part conclusion ("Face in the Mirror," "Up the Rabbit Hole," and "Four Light Years Farther"), which reveals stunning news about Nikita's true identity, delivers a unpleasant fate for one of the major characters, and leaves the rest in particularly dire straits. Were this the conclusion of the series as intended, the fourth season certainly provided a worthy wrap-up, with more than its share of intrigue and last-minute plot twists; as it stands, it's exceptionally fun TV, with a fine balance of action and romance between the charismatic and attractive. Wilson and Dupuis. The six-disc set includes all 22 episodes of the fourth season; Eugene Robert Glazer provides commentary for two episodes, "Time to Be Heroes" and "Sympathy for the Devil," on which he's respectively joined by director Brad Turner and writer Peter Lenkov; there's also a collection of deleted scenes with commentary by Christopher Heyn assistant to the show's executive consultant Joel Surnow, and a gag reel. --Paul Gaita

a pleasure to watch August 17, 2008
LFN Fourth Season is great!!! However, I took these DVDs on vacation with me-- across the ocean to Europe-- and they would not play. The DVD player kept giving me a warning that said "check your regional code". So let that be a reminder to anyone who will bring their DVDs with them to a foreign country.

Le Femme Nikita Rediscoveres Itself !!! March 14, 2008
Season Four is in a very real sense two different seasons. The first ten episodes, while well done, continues to "play games" with the characters and explore parapsychology. HOWEVER, beginning with Episode 11: TIME TO BE HEROES, an episode that explodes at you with amazing and intricate new relationships mirroring reality once more, AND marks the return of Le Femme Nikita to its' roots. Granted, as explained in the commentary, the episode was written in hopes of creating a spin-off show. BUT what the episode managed to do was kick start the second half of the season, which in my opinion is Le Femme Nikita at its' VERY BEST !!!

In my review of Season One, I stated "...what really distinguishes Nikita is the fact that I find the episodes to be about relationships, not spies, sci-fi, terrorism, theoretical "ultra-secret" governmental agencies (albeit, I am sure the Bush administration would really enjoy the freedom of Section One), or any thing else. It is a microscopic look at the way people interact (both in 1995 and today). That is, through the established structure of the fictional Section One, relationships between people are highly controlled and well defined. One wrong move and you are "dead;" figuratively or (from the view point of the show) literally. One misunderstanding between two people can cascade into all sorts of outcomes. Lies and truths are intertwined (granted, in exaggerated excesses), driving the various relationships. Trust is a commodity that is elusive and even harder to maintain; games are habitually used. And POWER is the key to all relationships, interactions/actions, and motivations--either directly or indirectly; with or with out awareness." This is what Season Four brings back. I believe this so much that I am in full agreement with Andrew Hornes' comment in his review: "If I were to purchase only one season, this would have to be it."

The gritty, in your face relationships, interactions, and actions are even reflected in the episode titles; in particular, the last four: Time Out Of Mind; FACE IN THE MIRROR (!!!); UP The Rabbit Hole; and Four Light Years Farther. These episodes exude the key to these relationships and interactions: POWER. This is Le Femme Nikita at its' best and--I believe--parenthetically presages the greatness of Le Femme Nikita's recent cousin, 24.

Makes you wish the Sections were real to fight the terrorists. Good writing and a foxy Nikita. Great fun.

High Marks for a Cult Favorite, Low Marks for a Not so Great S4 February 4, 2008
I give LFN five 5, heck 10, stars out pure devotion and love for this show and the characters that I've been enamored with since I was a kid.

But, people, that doesn't mean it automatically gets 5 stars in everything else.

Season 4 was disjointed and at times, boring and unexciting, with mediocre writing and plotting, that really began at the end of Season 3. While the acting was still stellar, perhaps the best by the supporting actors who were the focus rather than Nikita, there was little cohesiveness or unity between episodes, which LFN had always managed to do well. That is, bringing cogency that layered and developed into other episodes and linked them very well without overdoing it or over complicating it.

While there were some interesting, albeit lackluster, episodes that focus more on the bad guys and action sequences, with a dull and underdeveloped secret revelation about Nikita's double cross, it just lost that spark. Madeline is unceremoniously killed off, George too, Birkhoff is sacrificed then resurrected as his twin (though well done by the actor), and Operations sedately capitulates. In other words, it's black hole chaos and everyone just dies or says, 'ok, sure'. The last episode, which I personally disliked and found senseless, has Nikita as judge, jury and executioner, with the lame and uninspired side story of Mr. Jones presiding. Talk about neat and tidy. It's Nikita's time of retribution where she gets to decide the fate of Section and its people: riiiiiiight...sure. Thus, dewy doe eyed, she sentences Michael for cancellation only to save him at the end. And then tells him that she never loved him and she was, uh, just doing her job. What??? To which he responds by forgoing her confusing attempt at saving him and walks off. Huh???

A little disappointing for a show that maintained such ingenuity, drive, creativity and cleverness done with class, great dialogue and character development that kicked butt. Only to die off (for a time) so...with such a small bang, and bags of disappointment. And it's obvious that the producers knew they that they were getting the ax mid-season and began hodgepodging it together. There's the good, the bad and the ugly for all to see, it's hard to say what stood out more...The canceled scenes and commentaries are interesting and explain a few things, and avoids some too. The gag reel, while amusing, really didn't show anything. The great look of the show is still there and the only comforting element, as confusing, unsatisfactory, disconnected plotting abounded.
