Nice follow to the movie & other series. It's no CHUCK, but I definitely like it.

Thoughts?

I haven't seen it yet and actually forgot it was on so I haven't put it in the download queue yet but I will do if you say it's really good.
If I wait for it to appear over here we'll have all been wiped out in the 2012 end of the world disaster and it won't matter.

I saw both movie versions (although I didn't think much to the US version) but I never saw the TV series except for a few bits here and there.
Does the new series literally follow on or does it start from the beginning with an 'origin' story?

I haven't watched it yet, but from what I've read it follows Nikita as she attempts to take down Division, but there is another character that will give us an introduction to the organization at the same time.

Yep, essentially a "reboot" taking the same premise, but not literally following any prior versions.

It was quite well done. Sort of like "24". Lots of action and the story moved right along.

The pilot was directed & produced by Danny Cannon (Judge Dredd). I knew he was actually talented!

ETA: Next weeks ep looks as good!

You know the adage, if you can't say anything good then don't say anything at all?

Let me see...production values are better than the USA series...and...

MELINDA CLARKE!!!!!


That's about it as far as I'm concerned.

Not so good IYO?
I totally disliked Peta in the roll, Annie was superb IMO, and Maggie is somewhere in between.
I'm more than willing to give it a chance.

Whattya think?
