I just got a chance to see The Equalizer this week and have to
admit that, unlike all of the Miami Vice and Dirty Harry ripoffs
that are new to this season, this show has class.

It's about an ex-"agency" operative who has quit battling the
bad guys of international espionage and started using his skills
to help regular folk with nowhere else to turn.

Even though he has quit the "agency", he still has run-ins with
people from both sides.

Edited and paced like a movie, the results are excellent.
Unfortunately, the name may make people think this is a
TV-ized version of Death Wish.

So far, it's far better.
