 The DVD Journal | Reviews: La Femme Nikita: The Complete Second Season
In another episode, Nikita and Michael go undercover in suburbia by pretending to be married, in a storyline that evokes memories of similar premises in "X-Files" and "Alias." In the season's third section, Nikita conspires with Section One's original founder (Sian Philips) to destroy it.
For the second season, Surnow and company modified the set, focused the show more on the faux romance between Nikita and Michael, told us more about the cold-blooded managers of Section One, and allowed Wilson to "dress down" from the exotic and revealing stripper garb she donned as daily wear in the first season.
They discuss such things as how the series was tweaked between seasons and why the villains tend to be dark or Middle Eastern (the cold weather of Canada where they shot the show and did casting precluded warm-weather villains).
