In "The Equalizer" Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) is always able to handle the serious trouble that comes her way. Former CIA, she has skills. Deadly skills she prefers not to have to use. Extremely well-cast and acted, it can get a little preachy, but overall it's a well-written thriller-type drama. Harry (computer genius) and his wife Mel (she's a former sniper with all kinds of defensive skills), and Dante (a police detective - on suspension in the finale) unite to help fix sometimes impossible problems for Robyn's diverse clients who need her to find or remedy whatever will solve their needs - people who no one else will or can help. But, in the finale, she and those very important friends are in dire trouble because of a past incident in a foreign country. And the finale leaves us in a terrifying cliffhanger where there appears to be no viable solution for getting this one under control.
What became my favorite NCIS drama, "NCIS-LA", ended its 14-year run Sunday night in its Series Finale. It was exciting, tear-jerking (for me), and a fitting conclusion to the entertaining drama of some very rewarding seasons of great acting/writing/character development/and occasional laugh out loud moments with each character. (Interesting that "Sam Hanna" appeared in the Season Finale on Monday night's "NCIS Hawaii", saving heroine "Special Agent Jane Tennant".) The final scene of "NCIS-LA" was fitting to conclude the drama, letting the never-ending mystery of Hetty's disappearance end in a continued mystery.
Father, thank you for these amazing actors. Please bless each one of their lives with the absolute knowledge of who you are and how you've given them their incredible abilities. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
