SEAT OF DESTINY. BACK TO 'THE BOOTH AT THE END'

Just how far will you go? The Man (Xander Berkeley) poses the enigmatic and dangerous question once again in THE BOOTH AT THE END. Image: FX.

The always excellent Xander Berkeley, away from the scheming and corrupt Percy of NIKITA, returns to give more mysterious manipulation and life changing advice/requests to his "clients", from his discreet little diner booth office, in the second season of the innovative and acclaimed anthology tribute webseries THE BOOTH AT THE END, written and created by Christopher Kubasik, returning to the UK's quality purchasing FX HD channel for five twenty-three minute episodes from next Monday.

Once again, the character of The Man- the kid of guy that chain-smoking TWILIGHT ZONE writer Rod Serling, were he still alive, would surely have loved to have written for- remains a compulsive to watch, precognitive and psychological enigma. Is he from Heaven or is he from hell? Is he God or the Devil? Or somebody above both concepts? Making the most of his trusty little note book-probably possessing the kind of unforeseen abilities that would likely make iPads redundant- he's now relocated to a new diner, and a new city, but the requests for his unique services continues anew, with clients of all ages and all walks of life taking the opposite seat to confer and ultimately sell their souls to him, and whose destinies in their fulfilment can take roads not always expected and not always pleasant...

Information on the new series is somewhat sketchy-having only debuted in the US this past August- but new director Adam Arkin soaks up the atmosphere whilst Berkley's solid and enigmatic presence will notably bring out the best of new guest stars including DEADWOOD's Dayton Callie, HATFIELDS & McCOYS Noel Fisher, JUSTIFIED's Abby Miller and CASTLE's Danny Nucci. Plus, in an interesting new twist, The Man has his own wish that needs satiating. But just how far will he himself go to see it made fruition?

LETHAL WEAPON! 'NIKITA' RETURNS...

Fashion killer! Maggie Q is beautiful and deadly in NIKITA.  Images: CW channel/WARNER BROTHERS 

Getting the chance to flex her trigger finger muscles once again in her war against the evil agency known as Division, who originally turned into a lethal assassin, led by the ruthless Percy (the always seedily nasty Xander Berkeley), that top heroine, the sleekly beautiful but deadly Nikita (as played by the delicious Maggie Q) returns to UK TV tonight on the SKY LIVING and HD channels for the second season premiere. Last time, Nikita was finally reunited with her lover, Michael (the cool action hero caught in middle of all this crisis, played by Shane West), once assigned to track down and kill her, and now, realising he had been equally betrayed- his family cold-bloodedly executed on the orders of his own people- joining forces alongside her in their mission of revenge and restoring order to the intelligence services protecting the world and American soil. Searching for the mysterious black boxes and their custodians that contain vital information that will expose the company, of which one is already in their possession, they now have a new enemy dispatched against them, Nikita's once protege in revenge, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca), who, feeling betrayed by her once friend due to the secrets of her past having been kept from her, is now seemingly determined to regain her once Russian business empire heritage and join forces with both Division, and the dangerous Black Ops fraction of American Intelligence behind it: Oversight, to seek and destroy Nikita whatever the cost! Friends now enemies, with each knowing how the other will think and fight, they're the perfect opponents in this game of power, subterfuge and intrigue, where not everything or everyone is what it seems. To nick a catchphrase from another popular series, "When they met, it was murder!"

New enemy: Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is hot on the trail of Nikita.

The Season One cast (including Shane West as Michael and Melinda Clarke as Amanda) return for Year Two.

The dramatic fireworks look set to be taken up a satisfying notch in this year's 23 episode run of viewer accessible exploits (including a flashback to Nikita's deeply troubled pre-agency past and a more at large Percy out for payback against Nikita and his new Division/Oversight rivals), whilst the series regular stand-out action sequences and pyrotechnics will surely top or raise the bar higher to whats been done before..
