Editor's Note
Some people say the gun is the great equalizer. But fans of this 1980s series know the real answer: Robert McCall. A retired secret agent with a bad temper, McCall (Edward Woodward) has embarked on a new mission: fighting for the innocent victims of an indifferent judicial system. But while McCall's motives as a private investigator may be noble, his tactics are just as ruthless as those he used on the government payroll. He's not nice, but he gets the job done. Stalking the mean streets of New York in search of the truth, he's a one-man army who won't take no for an answer. This collection presents the first season of the series, full of strong-arm tactics, witty comebacks, and tough-guy posturing.
