Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - The Equalizer - Season Four

The Equalizer's Shattered, the season finale, for me, almost felt like a series finale. With main stars leaving New York City or The Equalizer group of crime fighters.

However last month the series was renewed for a fifth season. The renewal post on the TV site I read, had some very unexcited comments for the return of the Queen Latifah lead series.

Most people were curious why NCIS: Hawaiʻi was cancelled and The Equalizer was saved. Look it's a solid question. This series has been on cruise control for a minute.

The short sharp ten episode season was refreshing following the last two drawn out 18 episode all filler, hardly any killer seasons. 

Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) has only one cliffhanger leading into (in my mind) the fifth and it's gotta be final season. Will see train Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes) to join her squad, given Mel has essentially handed in her notice.

With zero cliffhangers, a love interest heading to the West Coast after seasons of heat between Robyn and Dante (Tory Kittles), it really feels like post strike, the writers knew CBS has a packed schedule, this show has been dipping in ratings following 60 minutes, then the numbers/ratings go back up for Tracker, the new series screening later on a US Sunday evening.

Now I will see any show to the bitter end, however CBS, come on with Fire Country getting a spin-off, SWAT uncanceled, with a big online fan base, if you need to clean house next season, maybe do the right thing, and give The Equalizer a rest. The film series is done. Maybe it's time the TV series follows and calls it a day.
