Murn After Reading

I never I mean never rated any show, episode, or movie over a 6 the past 3/4 years. This series and especially episode 6 has renewed my faith that great television in the right hands can happen. Not going to spoil any of it but anyone who has doubts about this show just watch thru episode 6 before you bail (you won't be sorry).

I just binged all the episodes and conveniently this episode dropped as soon as I finished ep 5, so I'm really glad I'm caught up on the show now.

This show is really entertaining from the beginning, and this episode is really good just like the other ones, and even better.

First of all, I gotta applaud James Gunn's choice of music, he kills it every time with the perfect music choice for the scenes. I don't know how he even does it.

The plot progresses a lot further in this episode and now we have two major antagonists.

I gotta say, the wk stuff kinda got out of hand this episode and it's especially weird coming from James Gunn. Didn't mind the wk stuff from the previous episodes because they were brief and quick but this one was too on the nose.

I like that James Gunn, at least in DC (and tbf in GOTG2 too), doesn't just find a boring forgettable villain to throw at the "hero". Even though this one is really similar to the Starfish from The Suicide Squad, but it's still an antagonist that you surely will not forget.

I think the twists and turns of this show are great, even though you can see most of them coming from a mile away, it's still nice to have that mystery and intrigue in the plot so the audience is interested to see what happens next.

As for the characters, Peacemaker and Harcourt have a nice heart-to-heart scene together. Vigilante is dumber and goofier as ever. I don't think I really care about Adebayo's wife to be honest, but it's gotta be in there I guess. I like that Sophie's role is getting bigger now and that scene with her in the police station was great, complemented by a great song. Also Christopher Heyerdahl was really great in this episode, it also has a post-credit scene so don't miss it.

Also you can't deny that White Dragon's suit is dope af.

All in all, it's a really good episode. The plot moves forward and we get more information about the Butterflies. The acting is good and the music is really great. My only little problem with the show as a whole is the editing and cinematography, mostly editing. Most fight scenes have quick cuts and the camera is way too close to the action and faces that you can't concentrate and understand what's happening. Other than that, the show is really enjoyable.

After watching this episode.... I am excite for : -The remaining episodes -Peacemaker Season 2 -James Gunn's Other Series. I really hope it is either Bloodsport or Ratcatcher.

Vigilante made me laugh at pretty much every line he had. This episode had everything, can't wait to see the next episodes as the season keeps going uphill.

The series is actually getting a little better more or less each episode. This episode seamed to finely have toned down the infantile humor to some degree at least, thicken the plot some more, and in general continue the slight incremental improvement from the third/fourth episode in this series.
