Nikita Season 2 Review

Nikita Season 2


There are SPOILERS in this review so read it at your own risk!!!!


Overall, season 2 of Nikita was great and chock-full of emotions and twists and turns and I can't wait for the 3rd season as I'm sure the action, suspense and thrills will pick up at a much faster pace. The mini different story arcs that were intertwined with the main story arc were interesting and well told. The relationships between what I like to call Team Nikita ( Nikita, Michael, Birkhoff, Alex and Sean) were well developed and could develop even further into season 3. Season 2 definitely gave closure and tied up some loose ends from the first season that's for sure and some shocking revelations did occur. Alex found closure about her family and the whole Zetrov ordeal, Percy and Rone finally died and seemingly Team Nikita is now in charge of Division the very thing that they were trying to take down and destroy.

Relationships

MichaelxNikita

Michael and Nikita dubbed "Mikita" by the fans is the driving relationship for Nikita in the series and I don't think it's letting up any time soon. I like Michael and Nikita together as a couple as they compliment and understand each other in many ways. In season 2 their relationship was put to the test as Michael had fathered a kid with another woman unbeknownst to him until Nikita revealed it to him. The're a solid pair and I doubt anything could break them apart unless one of them dies..  

SeanxAlexanda(Alex)

Sean and Alex's romance is the main romance that budded during this season and came full circle by the end of the season. They work very well together and share common past experiences. In my eyes they are a solid couple.

Season 3 Romance Predictions

Nikita as the series has gone on has seemed to unconsciously formed her own little harem per se.  In this harem she has Birkhoff, Michael, Ryan and Owen in her back pocket. Even though Nikita's and Michael's relationship is solid for the most part I can't shake the feeling that a love triangle or square may form in season 3. Birkhoff is mostly out of the equation seeing as yes he does harbor feelings for Nikita but he respects Michael too much and won't make a move romantically towards Nikita besides him and Sonya seemingly hooked up at the end of the season anyway. So, that just leaves these two choices for the possible love triangle: Michael/Nikita/Ryan or Michael/Nikita/Owen and I think the latter has the higher chance of happening as Owen demonstrated clearly to Michael in the 2nd season and a little in the 1st season plus we'll be seeing a lot more of him during this upcoming 3rd season. Ryan does deeply care about Nikita, but seeing as he'll be mostly stuck running Division I don't think to much will be happening in the romance department for him sadly. As for Alex she's pretty much solid with Sean.

Season 3 Plot Predictions

Amanda and Ari will be the main villians.
Threat of the last black box remains
Multiple rouge Division agents will be taken down
New leaderships and partnerships will be forged

Overall, Nikita is a great series full of espionage, action, romance, humor and thrills and it's a very mature show with good actors/actress, music, plots, settings and story telling. If you're not watching it you're really missing out.
