The Equalizer is an American spy thriller television series, originally airing on CBS from September 18, 1985 to August 24, 1989 and co-created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. It starred Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence agent with a mysterious past, who uses the skills from his former career to exact justice on behalf of innocent people who find themselves in dangerous circumstances, whilst sometimes also dealing with people from his past in covert operations who want to pull him back in or settle old scores. The concept has been rebooted twice, with a pair of movies starring Denzel Washington and a reimagined 2021 TV series starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall.
