This is one of the few, feminine heroine action genre shows that takes full advantage of the great acting chops of it's star - Peta Wilson. Though remade into full movies several times with competant actresses, not one showed the full potential that Peta does, as the kick a##, uber-spy, seductress, anti-heroine! Loved this series, filmed in Canada. Great plot, storylines well written, couldn't wait for the next episode. I would recommend all 5 seasons of this series - Girl Power!

I purchased Season 2 at the same time I purchased all of the others, but now I can't view it. Google never even tried to reimburse me and there is no one to call to address this. Love the show but Google service is horrible.
