Season 1 Review:
There’s an unspoken layer of social justice to Robyn’s mission, and I wonder how far they’ll push that angle in future episodes. (The premiere bends over backwards to show the NYPD cops aren’t the bad guys.) But it has a strong foundation to build from, thanks to Queen Latifah.

Season 1 Review:
The Equalizer's evolution continues, from that stately old British gent in the 1980s to a couple of Denzel Washington movies to Queen Latifah in a new CBS series. But the character isn't all that's changed, as the show adopts more of a team concept than the original's loner, even if the basic template -- a pretty fun one -- still involves a shadowy savior of those in need.

Season 1 Review:
Gender reversal aside, there's little that's surprising about this reboot, which should make it a comfortable fit on Sundays. [15 - 28 Feb 2021, p.10]

Season 1 Review:
There's a comfortable mediocrity to the formula that should land with many viewers. Critics, on the other hand, are more likely to lament that with this cast, so much more might be possible. And Young Dan still thinks a talking car or high-tech helicopter wouldn't hurt.

This show is ridiculous! It is not believable that Queen Latifa is capable of the things she does on the show. Utter nonsense! And the whole "woman power" schtick is getting REALLY old. Stop trying to make women into men! Terrible casting, average writing. Hard pass.
