Precies een week geleden kon je hier op Eigenwereld een top vijf zien van TV shows die het volgens de website Mania.com verdiende om gecancled te worden. Wij waren het uiteraard niet eens met hun, want ze noemde toch wel een aantal hele toffe series op. Maar vandaag hebben ze een top vijf gemaakt met series die misschien geen tweede seizoen krijgen, maar het wel verdienen. Shows zoals:

3) Nikita (The CW)

This remake of a show (La Femme Nikita) that was based on a foreign film (1990's La Femme Nikita) that was remade into an American film (1993's Point of No Return) really got off to a slow start but has plenty of promise. The premise is familiar: a clandestine espionage group known only as the Division recruits troubled youths into their program, erases evidence of their troubled pasts, and trains them to be assassins. Nikita (Maggie Q) turns on her superiors at the Division and vows to bring them down. Meanwhile, the Division has made plans to assassinate Nikita, while training a new crop of assassins.

Viewers miss Alias and 24, both of which were spy shows. This season's Undercovers (masterminded by Alias creator J.J. Abrams) was cancelled after 11 episodes (its remaining 2 have yet to be shown and probably won't). That show was a decent show and really didn't get a fair shake; however, this is about Nikita.

Thankfully, the CW gave Nikita a full season (22 episodes) but it's unclear if it'll be back for a second. According to TVGuide.com, its ratings are decent and much better than some of the CW's other veteran shows, including Gossip Girls, 90210, and One Tree Hill (all of which really need to be put down, regardless that the former two have already been renewed).
