The franchise was a great 80s TV series. The 1st Denzel movie captured a fairly good essence but a Batwahmen, CW-type pop culture remake complete with gender swapping sounds awful. Edward Woodward's performance was great, especially for the time period that it was released (no gratuitous violence on TV).
Fun factoid. William Zabka (Johnny Lawrence) played McCall's estranged son in the original series. He eventually gets involved with Dad's "make it right' agenda and helps on some operations. It was great at the time.
I can't imagine this new re-imagining will be worth a toss.
**EDIT NBC has full episodes of the original series for free streaming on their site. It looks like a full series run (4 seasons). https://www.nbc.com/the-equalizer/episodes
Well the franchise was originally a TV show 40 years ago so.
Fuck Hollywood and the horse they rode in on.
Just watch the original. One of the best 80s shows, in my opinion. Edward Woodward is great.
Cbs has ruined Star Trek doesn't not surprise me. Don't talk about the remake of Magnum Pi. The character Higgins is a women. The only show I like on Cbs is 48 hours. I refuse to even watch that now. I have loads of dvds that I can watch.
