CBS’ remake of The Equalizer is quickly becoming one of the network’s premiere primetime series, but will the Queen Latifah-led action adventure score a season 6? Loosely based on the eponymous series from the ’80s, The Equalizer follows Robyn McCall, a woman living in New York City who uses the skills she acquired in her shady past to help out those in the neighborhood who have nowhere else to turn. Deftly mixing action and drama, Latifah’s turn as The Equalizer humanizes the original concept, and the series has built a compelling narrative for Robyn across five seasons so far.
