Hi everyone...so good to have found you guys. It's been a while since the show went off air. I didn't even knew this forum existed but was searching google for something lfn related and found it. Talk about die hard fans..
So how many of us are still here, please raise your hands :)
*Raises hand*
shareI love the show. Love the chemistry between Michael and Nikita. I would love to see this show come back like so many others are coming back! What happened to them after all these years.
shareSadly they make complete reboot instead of bringing this back :(
shareYes, unfortunately. The single thing the reboot had going for it was a larger budget and better technology/cinematography for "flashy" action-packed scenes. But it was all flash and little substance. A new series needed to be created with emphasis on the dark, oppressive, brutal environment and amazing casting choices. All of which the new show did not have. Now, because of the stain of the new show and it having not fared well, a new tv series more in the vein of the original series or films will likely not happen for a very long time, if ever.
That newer show just left a really bad taste for me. They even stole elements from LFN and didn't give a single credit, homage, or kind comment that I'm aware of. In fact, some of the cast - mainly Maggie Q made disrespectful, dismissive remarks about LFN. But she (and the other cast) will always be known as the far-inferior successor.
I tried to watch the Maggie Q remake but the first episode was so uninspiring that I really didnt go beyond that. Maybe it got much better later, I dont know.
LFN was so good and had such consistently great writing, acting, and plots, that it still holds up today even though it never had very high budgets and a lot of the tech/effects on the show look dated now.
