‘The Equalizer’
TV’s fascination with do-overs continues with a “reimagining” of the popular 1980s crime saga that also inspired a couple of Denzel Washington films. The commanding Queen Latifah plays Robyn McCall, an “enigmatic woman with a mysterious background” who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to exact justice on behalf of downtrodden and oppressed victims caught up in a rigged system. As Robyn conducts this work anonymously, not even her teen daughter and live-in aunt are on to her. But a shrewd NYPD detective is determined to uncover the identity of this vigilante. (Premieres Feb. 7, CBS, following the Super Bowl)
