Was the underrated CW series Nikita the most daringly feminist show since Buffy?
People stopped talking about it and, slowly, its small pocket of viewers began to abandon it also.
Theres a reason its last two episodes were titledBubbleandCancelled, because those two words had plagued it for years.
We arguably have more women in central roles than ever before, but viewers werent buying whatNikitawas selling.
These things were never brushed under the carpet, and were a part of the story until its end.
And for the first two seasons it did with Division whatDollhousehad attempted to do, but better thought out.
Dangerous Patriarchy, but its this precision that made it such an enjoyable ride.
When you compare the two for how they dealt with the same issues, I thinkNikitagot a bad rap.
This wasnt paint-by-numbers television, nor was it a throwaway spy-light show as many have dismissed it as.
