The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn.
I didn't watch the first episode, the cheesy promo put me off. And am I supposed to believe that Queen Latifah's menopausal 50 year old ass is able to beat the shit out of everyone?
Nobody said anything when Denzel did it. Or whenever Liam Neeson or Bruce Willis do it. This is an awful take. Age is clearly not a factor with action movies/shows so let’s not attack her for that of all things. 🙄
Trust me, I call bullshit on that too, but this is even more unbelievable. This isn't a personal attack on her, it's a questioning of the writing. If they had her showing off her gun/ weapon skills I wouldn't mind, but going toe to toe with big ass men in straight hand to hand fight is ridiculous.
Are we on Rupaul's Drag Race or Project Runway? I don't get why people still think it's cute to use "old women" as a punch line. It's tired, uncreative, and riddled with BS about the female body only having value when its producing children and/or wage labor. Let's move on.
Queen! I’m glad I didn’t change the channel after the game because I actually enjoyed this? I hope its a success because I’m always rooting for Queen Latifah.
I set my DVR to record this weekly. It’s an easy watch, somewhat corny and your typical predictable action show and tbh I’m here for it. That Las Vegas marathon on E! a few weeks ago really sold me on finding something similar genre wise.

Tbh I only liked Las Vegas up until Vanessa Marcil left (didn't care about most of the guys or Delinda). But yes, it was great in the earlier seasons.
