Not sold on the = sign in the E in the logo... especially when Z only has two horizontal lines.
I’m most curious to see how the cases come in. The trailer suggests a setup where she helps people who the authorities can’t or won’t, through word of mouth and/or super hacking.
The Edward Woodward original had McCall get cases through a newspaper classified ad and his answering machine, with a sideline in getting dragged back into spy business. (It also had a voiceover from Edward Woodward saying he’d be back next week over the end credits here. As well as the perfect 80s New York Is Hell credits, as I mentioned when talking about New Wave Requiem.)
The two films starring Denzel Washington had McCall stumble on his first mission, then set up an email for the same gig but mostly pick up work via Lyft driving and got his main mission through a personal connection, which works for a non-series version which needs a mission ever film rather than every week.
The new series has a hacker Batcave, not unlike Person Of Interest when it started as an ex spy doing cases of the week before it ran with the cellphone cyberpunk SF angle. (Fun fact: POI’s Kevin Chapman is in The Equalizer 2, under a different name, as one of the passengers who doesn’t require anything equalised.)
