nikita is such an underated show … it’s smart , well written , action packed , has a cliffhanger each and every episode , and a great cast … i mean “popular” shows like house or grey's anatomy have a cliffhanger every 10 episodes and it’s sometimes boring , and NIKITA is soooo much better than them …. i feel really sad that this amazing show doesn’t have the audience it truly deserves .
I can't really say I agree. The problem with people who are attached to an "original" is that they put it on a pedestal and forget all of the flaws it had in order to keep it there. I compare this Nikita to the original in name only. It deserves to be judged by its own merits, without people comparing it to another one.
It's kind of like the Legend of The Seeker tv series. People kept giving it crap when comparing it to its written counter-part, instead of giving it credit as its own form of entertainment. The books were better, but the TV show was a lot better than the purists gave it credit for.
The original Nikita was done differently, that doesn't mean it was done better. Personally, I like the new one a lot more than the old one. If it's all a matter of perspective, then neither one of them is good or bad when compared to each other, which means they shouldn't be compared and should be enjoyed as two separate experiences.
Of course, you're perfectly allowed to prefer the original over this one.
I can't say anything about new Nikita because I haven't watched it, but I agree with you about Legend Of the seeker, and I really love the books! but I decided to watch the series thinking about it as a tv series not related with them and I really enjoyed it! :)
My 'myepisodes.com' calendar says there's a new episode of Outsourced tonight, and I just saw the Facebook page of the shows says so too. I previously took a screenshot of my calendar, so these are the shows I will watch/record tonight : http://uppix.net/2/e/f/4f171194bd9be83a9174428cd8747.png. It is not a repeat, sadly (a new episode in a night of repeats means cancellation at this time of the year, all the signs didn't look so far but that one is another nail in the coffin).
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
FINALLY something to watch. Big Bang Theory, Bones, Nikita. Maybe The Mentalist if I'm bored.
ReplyDeleteSo easy!!!!...BONES and VD....

ReplyDeleteWell, thats mainly because this nikita does not deserve to be rated higher.
ReplyDeleteThe world already had nikita tv show. And that one was better acted, better written, more intense and had about 20 different cliffhangers per episode.
This nikita is...cheaper. Thats why people do not care about it. The original was THAT MUCH better.
