Does "The Equalizer" TV Show Beat Denzel Washington's Movies?
Get ready because "The Equalizer" TV Show is giving Denzel Washington's movie series a run for its money! You might have seen those Denzel Washington movies and loved the action but this TV show actually has a secret weapon!
Is The Show Any Good?
It's awesome! It might not be super well-known - like those big-budget, A-list Movies! But it really stands out!
The TV Show vs. Denzel's Movie Series
- We've had a "Equalizer" TV show from back in the 80s with Edward Woodward - that was pretty cool! But Denzel made the franchise popular with the "The Equalizer Movie" in 2014.
- You might be thinking "Wow! How could this TV show compare?!" It turns out that the Rotten Tomatoes rating says a lot - the TV show's 67% beats both the first two "Equalizer movies". Only the newest one - The Equalizer 3 - has a higher score at 76%. It’s great to know that, despite those strikes and production problems, the TV show has staying power!
- The TV show was able to do more than those Denzel Washington Movies! It's already gone through four seasons! And get this: Season 5 is coming! It might not have as many episodes as that first TV show - it still took some serious effort!
How's Queen Latifah Doing as Robyn McCall?
She's kicking butt as Robyn McCall, the newest Equalizer - that's what people call the main characters. Her performance has that real heart to it.
Is This TV Show Actually Like The Movies?
They share that name but they are kinda different! The Movies were all about action. You know: super serious and those hard-hitting, bloody scenes. But the show took the same premise - where Robyn, like Robert McCall, is this good person, helping others by using those killer skills - and made it less rough!
- It's like how they changed Lethal Weapon, with their great action comedy scenes, for TV.
- That same style is there for "The Equalizer" TV show - a blend of action and lightheartedness, so it’s like they gave the movie a super nice, fresh touch. And Queen Latifah does it awesomely! She's clever and awesome. She has this MacGyver vibe going for her as well!
"The Equalizer" TV show has managed to capture what fans love - all the fun stuff, those really creative ideas for those scenes but with some less graphic, violent action, because you know those TV Show networks want to be safe.
The Equalizer is an awesome TV series with action and that sweet "Robyn McCall" vibe! Even though they’re separate - and won't see Denzel Washington jump into that TV show. But those "The Equalizer" fans can enjoy the different but exciting stories.
