Going into a 10th season as the star of a second scripted show with many lead and supporting movie and TV roles in between it doesn't matter if Queen Latifah can act. She can draw an audience and the business doesn't care about objections from the show people when someone can get them money.

Its more old man action like Taken and Denzel Washington's films. But who remembers Bryan Mills name?
Yes, it is, but sometimes Robin (QL) moves unbelievably fast and takes on multiple assailants (who are in much better shape) with relative ease.
A specific example: A few episodes ago, Robin and Mel (Liza Lapira) are questioning a young guy about the disappearance of a young girl who he had dated. He takes off running. Mel goes after him.
The next time we see Robin, she's managed to run faster and farther than both Mel and the teen. Robin subdues him by flinging a conveniently placed square of cardboard (from a box) like a frisbee at his feet. Everyone knows old, weathered, soiled cardboard isn't that slippery, but that guy may as well have been traversing an oil slick because he went down like a sack of potatoes.
I did think that Edward Woodard's old man guile rather than Denzel Washington's old man action should have been the guide for Queen Latifah taking over the role. But I guess 80s TV is for the most part to slow for the modern audience.
Watching Mel/Liza Lapira always looking like she was about to tip over in her action platform heels should give us appreciation of what Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona) and her stunt women were able to do on Burn Notice
But I guess 80s TV is for the most part to slow for the modern audience.
In a nutshell.
Thank the heavens for Bosch and Bosch: Legacy.
I greatly enjoyed FX's short-lived Terriers back in 2010.
Last year, Shawn Ryan (creator/exec producer of The Shield, and co-developer/exec producer of CBS' S.W.A.T.) said of Terriers:
"I think Terriers was ahead of its time. That would have been a fun show to make for Netflix or Amazon or Apple and let people discover it on their own time. I blame myself for not pushing better for a better title. And I think FX would admit that they never got the marketing right on that show. I think that show happened at the wrong time, at the wrong place."

"Terriers" is one of my all time favorite shows that hardly anyone seems to have heard of or remember, so plus points for you for mentioning it. This was some really great television with incredible potential, and was an excellent showcase for Donal Logue's talent. I still think it was criminal that it never got the attention or second season it deserved.
Equalizer storylines and cast are a refreshing change of pace. I like when I can suspend belief and just roll with a plot. Not too much preaching and wokeness. Just good ole TV.
