What do you think? Do you like the The Equalizer TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I feel that it was a very smart move to have a show like this one. Especially with so many people at home, due to Covid. I work with the public and many people are really enjoying the show, the say it is uplifting, the plots are well put together, not to mention everyone just loves the Queen. I think we all need a hero. It is also a so refreshing to have less blood and sex and more positive out comes!!
