[LFN] Mother

TV Programme: La Femme Nikita
Season: 1
Episode: 5
Date I watched this episode: 28/06/2009
Time since I last watched this programme: 8 days.

Once again this was a fairly good, average episode. It showed how far Section One are willing to go and how their loyalties toward Nikita are only very gradually forming. The plan organised by the group was a bit out of the ordinary so it kept you on your toes. But there's no way I could describe this episode as brilliant.

I'm trying to think of what else to say about this episode, and the fact is I can't because there really isn't much to say. I really don't think this programme is going to find a place on my schedule, at least not now. Maybe in a few years (or decades at this rate) when I've finished some of my favourite shows, maybe then I'll come back. It has a small amount of potential for a good episodic show, but I'd rather watch The Avengers any day of the week. I've "read ahead" just before writing this review and found that there is some small element of a story arc but it doesn't appear until season 3 and even then sparsely.

Balanced against the backlog of amazing programmes I still have to watch, I've taken the decision to stop watching this programme. It will be replaced by Pushing Daisies Season 2, the final season of that programme, which I think I'll enjoy much more.
