All Hail The Queen (No, Not That One)

I am not going to tell you that “The Equalizer” is a great show or anything. But it is a deeply satisfying show in many ways. And the biggest way is that it allows us all an unadulterated opportunity to watch Queen Latifah just kick major ass. Like, legit, it’s just Dana Owens beating bad guys – emphasis on guys – to a pulp week after week. Look, sometimes the stuff we enjoy isn’t rock science. Sometimes it’s just the visceral satisfaction of The Queen (no, not the one whose monarchy Oprah helped to casually dismantle over the weekend) being a badass on my television. What can I say, I’m a simple gal.

I must confess I have not seen any episodes yet.

I haven't watched these shows yet,
but these video clips are awesome!
When I end up feeling frustrated after reading about or seeing males in news clips
abusing their positions of power to intimidate women or worse,
watching clips like these can feel cathartic.
I love them!

I know it's very Gen X of me to stan my pioneering female rappers, but it's true: Wherever Queen Latifah goes, I go with her. I'm into it. P.S. whoever scores this show is a musical genius.
