The Equalizer and Callan
I don't know many people are aware that the serie's makers and Edward Woodward considered the program to be an unofficial sequel to Woodward's earlier series Callan. There was an interview with Woodward were he said that David Callan had gotten so sick of working for British Intelligence that he emigrated to the U.S. and took the alias of Robert McCall. In the U.S. he was recruited by their intelligence agency, which he worked for for some time (around 16 years). I believe they couldn't gain any rights to have the series as a direct sequel due to the original rights being held by the BBC.--The Mercenary 16:31, 29 May 2012 (CDT)
