Resumen
Reviewers say 'The Equalizer' starring Queen Latifah garners mixed reviews. Many commend Queen Latifah's performance for her charm, wit, and strong presence. The show is appreciated for its positive message, social justice themes, and representation of a strong Black female lead. However, some critics compare it unfavorably to the original series and films, finding Queen Latifah's portrayal less believable. Excessive social justice messaging, over-dramatization, and inconsistent writing are also noted. The action sequences and fight scenes are deemed less convincing. The supporting cast and character dynamics receive varied feedback, with some enjoying the chemistry and others finding certain characters underdeveloped.
Reseñas destacadas
Queen Latifah is poorly cast in this role. She's just not believable as a skilled CIA agent. Also the writing is blah... absolutely zero nuance. You are directly told what pretty much every character's traits are.
The fight scenes are edited rather poorly as well. Jump cut after jump cut, it's not stylized it's just annoying.
It's unfortunate because the source material is quite strong, but, this attempt is very weak. Perhaps it'll get better after a few more episodes but the first two were bad enough that I'm not going to stick around to find out.

I watched the 1st episode hoping to rekindle some of that magic from the 1985 TV series starring Edward Woodward. Everything about that series was stellar, including the electrifying theme music composed by ex-Police Stewart Copeland. Everything about this remake is the opposite. The plot's simplistic beyond credibility, the protagonist hardly finds herself in any life threatening situation, and because everything from point A to Z appears as contrived as a 10-piece jigsaw puzzle, there's no suspense to speak of. Sad. I had expected much more from this and from 'Clarice'. Thank goodness for WandaVision. My opinion is based on the first two episodes.
Why? Just why. The moves were not that bad. This is just totally awful.
The only thing I was waiting for was to see Oprah show up as Queen Latifah's sidekick. Now, I'm always willing to give just about anything a try and judge for myself if something is good or not. I've certainly watched enough movies and shows that weren't nearly as bad as other critics made them out to be. I've also watched enough movies and shows that weren't nearly as good either.
Itunes had a "free episode" gimmick going with several new CBS shows. I guess CBS is trying to find a way to enhance their ratings. Perhaps they should focus on their racist decisions instead, such as giving Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim inferior pay compared to the rest of the cast of Hawaii Five-O.
Now, I've always liked Queen Latifah, but for this series, she's badly miscast. Even after watching the pilot episode, I just couldn't buy the fact that she's a former operative with "a special set of skills," which would almost certainly mean that she would have had to have been a member of special forces. Much of her dialogue exchange with Chris Noth is about "old times" on various missions. In short, we aren't given a plausible explanation that explains her skill set, especially given her age. By the way, only as of February 2020 has a woman been set to pass the Special Forces Qualification Course.
The writing isn't very good, which is evident in the overused number of times that cliched lines are given. Also, what is the point of blasting girlie hip-hop music everytime Latifah mixes it up?
However, Latifah's performance is good, as is much of the rest of the cast. I also found her style of parenting refreshing as well.
The Equalizer would have been much more enjoyable had they focused on her intelligence of being able to out-think her opponents (which she does do a few times) and less on her--unbelievably--mixing it up like some Denzel Washington/Jason Bourne wannabe. In other words, make the show unique and give it its own identity instead of trying to imitate and copy everything that has already been done.

Even though the Denzel releases had their own minor flaws, they were entertaining and the actor suited the role, and the story was interesting. In this reboot however it just seems ludicrous to have cast Queen Latifah in this role, even though she does do good roles elsewhere.
It just was a bit on the nose, I won't be watching it.
