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:
Latifah’s presence gives it a little something extra. Her charismatic underplaying draws you in, and adds a sense of mystery even when the writing is clunkily obvious. ... “The Equalizer” packs enough action to satisfy its post-Super Bowl audience, most likely. But it’s refreshing to see a few quieter moments of insight, mixed in with the good guys prevailing.

Season 1 Review:
"Equalizer" isn't going to break any records or win many awards, but it's simple, it has good fight sequences and it's always nice to see a beloved star get a role like this. And even more, the idea that one person can make a difference for those who have nowhere else to turn is appealing in a world where most of us are so powerless.

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:
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:
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.
