I decided I had to watch the show because I like the equalizer movies. Then to see that Queen Latifah was going to star in the series I had to see it. Once I saw the first episode I knew I was hooked. Yes I’m hooked. I even watched the episodes on demand a few more times. Queen Latifah was a good choice. Now her two cronies they make the cut too! I hope the show survives for quite a few season’s. What’s crazy cool is that the equalizer movies with Denzel Washington I watch over and over again when nothing else is on tv that interests me. I think now it will be a toss up between the two if nothing else speaks my interest!
Boring af.
Good cause im really enjoying this show.
I really like Queen Latifah, but I don’t enjoy this show.
I watched the first episode and I was definitely entertained. Surprisingly so because these aren’t my choice of shows to watch but Queen Latifah did a great job! I’ll definitely be tuning in
