Nikita was a bubble show on the CW that was in danger of cancellation after season three. It was given a very short (just a six-episode) final season to wrap up all of the remaining storylines. The story starts out three months after the events that ended season three with Nikita on the run after being framed for killing the President. She returns to the United States in an attempt to clear her name and faces multiple setups by Amanda to deepen the frame. Ultimately, the episodes amount to Nikita versus Amanda and the attempt to bring Amanda to justice. I will not spoil anything, but the show wraps up the lingering storylines and ends giving the fans a glimpse at how life turns out for the various characters.
If you decide to get the Blu-Ray set, it just has the episodes and nothing else. It is basically a MOD set, so there are no commentary tracks, behind-the-scenes material, or the like. The show packs a lot into the six episodes to tie everything up. That is a blessing and a curse because there is no filler, but the plotlines do seem a bit rushed. The Blu-Ray ends up being very expensive to get six episodes and no extras, so really the only reason to get it versus streaming the show is to keep a physical disc collection complete. The show does look and sound great in HD, but you are paying for a full-season release and getting less than half a season's worth of episodes and no bonus content. But, it is good that the show did not end on the season three cliffhanger and was given the opportunity to wrap everything up.
