The Equalizer (Seasons 1–4)

The Equalizer is a CBS crime series (1985–1989) starring Edward Woodward — stream all seasons online on iFILM. Robert McCall is a former operative of a covert government agency who has placed a small ad in the newspaper: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer."

His clients are people who have tried everything else: the law, the police, the system — and got nothing. McCall takes their cases with cold professionalism, not sentiment. Filmed on location across New York City over four seasons and 88 episodes, the show used the real texture of the 1980s city — its danger, its anonymity — as the backdrop for every story.

Woodward played McCall as a man whose courtesy never wavers and whose competence never fails. Stream The Equalizer online on iFILM.
