The Equalizer

Tom Mann Centuria · 15-02-2021 9:31am

It's alright, not the worst thing on telly but didn't really grab me at all, very meh. But I'll take actual drama over scripted reality/baking/sewing/modelling/singing contests every day of the week.

fritzelly · 15-02-2021 6:54pm

So is this whole show gonna be white people bad, black/ethnic people persecuted

As for shooting the lighter out of someone's hand :rolleyes:

CastorTroy · 15-02-2021 7:02pm

So why did she bring the hacker with her when she knew how to access the wires and the process after connecting seemed to be automated?

I watched the second episode just make sure that it was terrible.

It is but there probably have been worse tv shows.

But that doesn't make it good.

fritzelly · 02-03-2021 2:57am

BLM/white people are bad theme is very strong in this show - on top of the ridiculousness of everything else

Had enough after 4 episodes

watching this so far for the laugh / overt wokeness bingo spotting / big-ass badass laugh-along

I'll see your BLM and raise you!

this was up on the wall in the apartment of the dead victim guy in the current episode.

like ffs

fritzelly · 03-03-2021 1:08am

I know - sort of show that should be on BET or something the way its pushing the black agenda

Be surprised if it gets renewed - lost over half the viewers after the first episode and keep declining

03-03-2021 10:44am

Episode four was easily the worst yet with pantomime villain replete with horrible 80's clobber

Excited for where this can go next!

Im guessing a re-watch of Person Of Interest would be more entertaining?

if you're not watching this on a 50% turn-your-brain off procedural / 50% laughing at it and woke bingo basis then you're doing it wrong imo!

Im a bit sick of woke bingo at this stage.
How come every smart cop is a lesbian woman and the male cops are dumb as fuk. Its like everything now has to have lesbians in it.
We watch new tv series now and at the start of the first episode we try to pick out which ones are going to be gay or lesbian and how long before they are in bed. Almost every new series.

to be fair it looks like Queen Latifah is eyeing up the male precinct cop in this show.

she even accosted him in his gym showers this week to see if he measures up.

although not sure if she plans to get jiggy with it or eat him for breakfast.

I'd say he's probably referencing her personal life moreso than her character

The Inbetween is mine · 07-03-2021 11:45am

You just watch. It may not have been revealed yet, but Queen Latifah will at some stage have a threesome.

Unless they use old recordings or CGI not a chance of that happening?

That one flew right by you

CastorTroy · 05-04-2021 12:06pm

Just in case people weren't comparing it to Person of Interest enough, they throw in Fusco.

3rd of August on Sky Witness

Mr E · 06-12-2021 4:30pm

I think this is an underrated show. 7 episodes into season 2 and I don't think there has been a bad one this season.

The last two in particular have been excellent.

CastorTroy · 06-12-2021 4:51pm

Yep, have watched them all and it is pretty good. Robyn does seem to be magic at times, teleporting about the place but I think the others finding out about her helped since no need for stupid excuses.

The cliffhanger has me looking forward to the new episode next month

CastorTroy · 21-12-2021 10:27am

I expected it but now it's confirmed.

Chris Noth fired from The Equalizer. Will appear in one more episode that has been filmed.

https://tvline.com/2021/12/20/chris-noth-fired-the-equalizer-sexual-assault-bishop-leaving-last-episode/

Wonder if they'll write him out offscreen, replace him or just never mention him. May even keep the character but just as an offscreen contact that Robyn gets info from.

CastorTroy · 03-01-2022 11:38am

This week was apparently Noth's final episode. Now they completely forget about him after what he did? And I don't mean having a shave. As I said, maybe they'll keep him as an offscreen character, maybe something happens him in the future.

JP Liz V1 · 26-01-2022 2:43am

Season 2 premieres Tuesday, 1st of February 2022 at 9pm on Sky Witness

CastorTroy · 28-02-2022 12:25pm

First episode back and Bishop does get mentioned so he hasn't been totally forgotten about.

Wasn't a fan of the episode. Felt like it was trying too hard to be a buddy cop series and too many "This is like the time in..." moments. Don't know if it was Jada or just the dialogue.

The security system and getting past it was a complete joke as well. So the guy told her all the tiles to step on while drunk and trying to sleep with her? What, did he draw her a map as well to pint out the tiles?

Mr E · 11-04-2022 8:46am

Good exit episode for Bishop.

CastorTroy · 11-04-2022 1:11pm

Yeah and we get to see Robyn's nemesis.

Think the worst episode of the season and maybe the series so far has been the Jada episode. Yet I see ones online looking for a spinoff with her.

I can't trust him after Agents of SHIELD but expected the new guy, who I'm assuming is the new Bishop, to turn on Robyn.

Mr E · 27-04-2022 8:44am

Loved the jury episode.

This is such an underrated show.

CastorTroy · 27-04-2022 10:50am

I do like 12 Angry Men episodes. Though think how the woman was accused of confusing the 2 black women was a bit much. I'm not always good with faces so sometimes just remember features. So in Aunt Vi's case you would remember the hair at least. And I'm sure she's not the first to get information about 2 people mixed up like that.

JP Liz V1 · 28-04-2022 2:48am

I like the married couple sidekicks

JP Liz V1 · 05-05-2022 11:27pm

Renewed for a 3rd and 4th Seasons

Mr E · 16-05-2022 8:12pm

That was a very busy (and excellent) season finale. Really enjoyed it.

Looking forward to Season 3.

CastorTroy · 16-05-2022 8:54pm

I was thinking the attack at the end was Robyn's CIA team covering her involvement in the mission, but I doubt she'd be happy putting her family in danger for that.

JP Liz V1 · 08-02-2023 11:44pm

Season 3 starts Tuesday, 21st February 2023 at 9pm on Sky Witness
