Synopsis:

Edward Woodward stars as the mysterious and enigmatic private detective Robert McCall in this ground-breaking '80s crime series that explores one man's journey of redemption and honour in a world without pity. Atoning for his past sins as a former government agent who did whatever it took to get the job done, Robert McCall establishes himself as The Equalizer and sets about righting the wrongs of a flawed and unjust legal system. Created by Michael Sloan and nominated for seven Primetime Emmy awards, The Equalizer features an impressive list of guest stars including: Kevin Spacey, William H. Macy, John Goodman, David Strathairn, Cynthia Nixon, Ving Rhames, Melissa Joan Hart, Hector Elizondo and Laurence Fishburne with an incredible music score by Stewart Copeland of The Police. The Equalizer: The Complete Collection contains all four series (88 episodes plus a bonus episode, Beyond Control) on 23 discs, expertly following the quintessential anti-hero as he goes out of his way to restore hope and justice to those who feel they have nowhere else to turn.

Robert McCall is a former spy, who has left the Agency that he work[ed] for. He is trying to make a normal life and also establish a link with his estranged son. He also has to deal with his former superior, who needs his help every now and then, which is why he left the Agency and people from his days as a spy. But for whatever reason, he takes out an ad in the newspaper that states "Got a problem, need help, odds against you, Call The Equalizer". And he gets all sorts of calls from people who need help, people who tried to get help from the police but [be]cause of lack of information, or probable cause, or shortage of manpower, can't help them. So they turn to him.

Robert McCall (Woodward) is a tough-as-nails, no-BS private eye who went into business for himself after leaving the shadowy agency he once worked for. McCall works on behalf of those whose problems the police cannot - or will not - get involved in. His card reads, 'Got a problem? Odds against you? Need help? Call - The Equalizer'. Through 4 seasons, Robert McCall went up against some of the worst elements that New York City had - including gangs, mobsters, crooked cops, vigilantes, stalkers and even psychopathic stockbrokers.
