In the spirit of the original series
While the Denzel Washington movies were entertaining pieces, they had little in common with the original series. His McCall being more of a solitary Jack Reacher type.
Here, we have a Robyn McCall of the right age and seemingly unthreatening appearance. She has a daughter, as Robert had a son. She has a CIA contact on her back (Chris Noth) as Robert had Control (Robert Lansing). She has old allies, and new allies made while helping people.
She puts in place a system with her ex-employer to keep her freedom of movement and mpget required support to help those for whom "odds are against them", as Robert did in the first season of the original.
The stories are satisfying. Queen Latifah's acting is more than adequate.
A lot of fun to watch.
