The Equalizer begins screening on Prime on April 22.
REVIEW: More than 30 years after acting tongue-twister Edward Woodward helped out those with a problem, another McCall is evening the odds. Only this time it’s Robyn, rather than Robert, who is TV’s
The Equalizer (which debuts on Prime at 8.30pm on April 22 and will also be available to stream on Sky Go) in a slick, but formulaic update. Having stepped down from her globetrotting “charity work” – actually a cover for hot-spot troubleshooting for the CIA – the biggest challenges Robyn (Queen Latifah) faces now is how to fill her days and keep her rebellious teenage daughter from going off the rails.
The most intense moment in this week’s
The Equalizer centers around whether Robyn (Queen Latifah) will make it to her daughter Delilah’s (Laya DeLeon Hayes) performance in Times Square. This doesn’t mean the larger storyline dragged far from it, but it reinforces that Robyn’s relationship with her family will remain the fulcrum of the series. “Glory” is a solid followup to the series pilot, expanding on what worked well previously and building momentum for future episodes. Procedurals can struggle with a reason why viewers should show up promptly for the next episode instead of just binging them all later on Netflix. “Glory” will make you want to see what happens next Sunday.
