To most casual observers Robyn McCall is a hard-working single mom to Delilah but to a select few she is "The Equalizer" - an anonymous vigilante/avenging angel ready to swoop down and defend the vulnerable and those in danger. Fortunately, as a former highly-trained CIA operative, she has a very dangerous skillset at her disposal.
The show returns after a mid-season break, so read on to find out how to watch "The Equalizer" season 5 from anywhere with a VPN.

Did we mention that Queen Latifah plays McCall? Because of course she does. The NYPD cop who was investigating the violent episodes that followed this vigilante around, Marcus Dante (Tory Kittles) has, over the course of several seasons, become more of an ally and, while it looked like he might be leaving the show towards the end of season 4, returns here to continue to fight the good fight.
Harry Keshegian (Adam Goldberg) is also part of the team McCall has assembled and works as a hacker as is Melody "Mel" Bayani (Liza Lapira), an old military pal, who turns up for this season with an altogether more deadly talent - she is an expert sniper. All told, it doesn't look like the bad guys are going to have much fun in New York over the next few months.
