I watched the first episode of the new TV series The Equalizer. It's the new TV version of the Movie series The Equalizer which was started by Denzel Washington. In the TV series, they have changed the main character to a black female. Also looks like watered down most of the action sceans. I think I will watch a couple of more episodes before deciding I'm gonna watch the whole series or not. It's a bit like the popular series Person of Interest. I don't think those both are on the same level but it's too early to say anything about it.

Wow!  How can one have a successful Equalizer without Denzel Washington in the role?  Or someone at least a little like him.

Last night when I was watching a brand new first episode of Law and Order SVU, I couldn't help yawning.  These action series have become so watered down.  No more original sparks, even the actors look as though they've seen better days with tousled locks and washed out faces.  Sorry, maybe I'm being a little unkind.  But there is a time and place for everything, and I think Law and Order has become too much of a template being mass produced, and absolutely losing its charm for me.

I'll check out Equalizer if it should make its rounds here, but to be honest, this new power woman type character for me is also getting to be overkill.  Maybe I'll be yawning with this one too.  Possibly too the name Equalizer should not have been copied from the movie, like every one is probably going to judge the TV series by the movie high standards, and it's going to lose out then.  The Equalizer movie and follow up were awesome.
