"take readers on the series' six-year journey from art-house action movie to hit TV drama, then breaks down the production process in a uniquely informative and entertaining way. Much more than a "viewers' guide," Inside Section One is a comprehensive exploration of the development and production of a single TV series, using "La Femme Nikita" as a case study. Combinding extremely candid and often humorous interviews with over 60 members of the cast, crew, studio and network, along with 275 photos and illustrations, Inside Section One demystifies the inner workings of a TV series by detailing the production and people skills necessary to succeed in a demanding creative environment. In addition, Inside Section One explores each of La Femme Nikita's 96 episodes in depth, from the development of each script to the production challenges that the cast and crew faced every week."
