There are a lot of vigilante shows on right now. Nikita started as one with Nikita and Alex trying to take down Division and now that they have succeeded, it has evolved into them trying to bring in and save division agents that Percy put out in the field. Person of Interest is another one with Reece and Finch trying to save people when the machine serves up their number and even though they are now aided by a couple of cops, they are still vigilantes. Then new this fall is Arrow with the Green Arrow character trying to rid the city of the evil guys; a true vigilante who has the cops also after him. Also new it Beauty and the Beast in which the beast has been rescuing people and he is also helping the detective who was one of his first rescues nine years previous to the setting of the show; he is trying to avoid being captured or killed by the people who turned him into a beast. The Mentalist is almost a vigilante show with Patrick Jane as a consultant with the CBI(California Bureau of Investigation) who helps them close many cases but who is really out to get Red John, the serial killer who killed his family; he has and will go full vigilante if the thinks he has found Red John.

No I never saw that one. But I have read comments that many people think this version is better.

If I am not mistaken, the TV series Nikita is actually a character based on that movie.

I think the vigilante idea has this romantic side of good vs evil notion. It apeals to people who has this secret fantasy of being a hero saving good guys from bad guys. haha! And also who woudn't want watching super hot girl doing femme fatale and other Lara Croft-ish moves? Who woudn't? Actually am watching NIkita. I like the heroine-and forget her name-who also stars in my fave movie Naked Weapon.

Wow, it sounds that you are into a lot of TV series. I am too, in fact I watched some of those among the shows you mentioned. I think the idea that being a vigilante is more appealing to viewers than the ordinary statuses of common people. This is a good way to get people interested and follow on shows, especially TV series.
