Last week, yes launched a new action series called "Equality Point" starring Kevin Latifa.
The series went up in the U.S. last winter, and quickly became the most watched new series.
It is a remake of a series of the same name, which aired for four seasons in the mid-1980s and centers on a former intelligence agent who used his skills to obtain justice for the innocent, who are accused without having anyone to protect them.
On the way he deals with his past and the covert operations in which he participated.
In 2014 the series was also made into a feature film starring Denzel Washington, which produced a sequel in 2018.
In the new TV version, actress and musician Kevin Latifa plays Robin McCall, a single mother of a teenage daughter who was previously a secret agent at the CIA.
McCall acts on the streets on her own, for the benefit of innocents who have no one to turn to to prove their innocence.
Her cover story is that she works for a charity.
Whoever helps her is a friend from her time at the CIA who has since founded a private detective company, William Bishop, played by Chris Knott - after all, he's Mr. Big from "Sex and the City."
"Equality Point" was solemnly launched on a post-Super Bowl broadcast, 2021 and the premiere episode won a rating of more than 20 million viewers.
She maintained her power both later in the first season, and in the launch of the second season that aired last week in the US.
"Floated a high threshold."

Latifa (51), who was born Dana Evans, adopted her nickname in the late 80s when she began a career as a groundbreaking rapper. She was nominated for seven Grammy Awards and won once in 1995 for the song "UNITY". In the following years she also cracked a acting career. She starred in the sitcom "Living Single" and in the musical drama "Star", and even hosted a daily talk show. Her acting career culminated when she was nominated for an Oscar in the supporting actress category for her role in the film adaptation of the musical "Chicago." She was also nominated for three Emmy Awards, and even won a statuette as one of the producers of HBO's TV movie "Bessie," in which she also starred as blues singer Bessie Smith.
In a panel to promote "Equality Point," Quinn told Dropa that "not enough strong black women are still seen on screen, and it was important to me to play a woman who struggles not only physically but first and foremost through her head. Even so, there are full of action scenes in the series. "Washington has made the format relevant again thanks to the films. It has set a high standard, but I have enough room for my own interpretation. We have gone in a new direction, from the point of view of a black mother in America."
Regarding the physical effort required by the job, she said: "From day to day I feel more comfortable. Gradually I got into things. As a child, my father trained me to play football. I would fall and not give up on myself. Over the years I developed physically, and did not manage to continue playing in the neighborhood. "Thanks to the sport, I realized the importance of teamwork, combining forces with different people and understanding what everyone is doing. This is also true in the series. There are actors, there are stuntmen and there are writers - and all the dynamics together create a series that viewers are happy to see."
