La Femme Nikita is a great show. Despite it's flaws and despite the fact that screenwriters kept pushing the envelope too many times with twists and turns, it still kept being thrilling and interesting until the end. And yes, finally, the lack of creativity in the end of season four has been redeemed here, in final episodes of last season.
It's kind of sad the show had to end at season five, but there wasn't room to push it forward storytelling-wise, and a lot of the main protagonists we learned to love (or hate) have already been gone. So we come to conclusion that most of us wanted... well in a way so to say. It's always been about Nikita and Michael and it's fitting it ended that way, two of them together making difficult choices that will end in sacrificing not their love, but their future. For me, the love between Michael and Nikita has always been the show's greatest strength, pushing forward the story, and even though we knew it's impossible for them to have their freedom, we still hoped somehow it would happen.
The ending leaves you with mixed feeling but it's actually great to see both Michael and Nikita's father - both sacrificing themselves for their children in their own way. And in the end, the love of Michael and Nikita remains... a love that survives despite all odds... but a love they will carry with them even though the choices they are forced to make keep them separate.
A bittersweet, emotional and touching finale of a great show.
