Nikita was a 2010-2013 American television series about a former spy and assassin (Maggie Q) who is determined to shut down the shadowy government-funded organization (known as "The Division") that she used to work for. It was based on the 1997-2001 Canadian series La Femme Nikita, which in turn was based on the 1990 French movie Nikita.
