Peacemaker was every bit as good as I had hoped for. I'm case you were wondering this takes place immediately after The Suicide Squad and much like The Suicide Squad, this is absolutely a show for adults with all the violence, language, etc and I loved every second of it. John Cena has come so far as an actor, he continues to get better and has followed The Rock to be another A list actor from the wrestling world! Gunn definitely put his stamp on this having written all 8 episodes and directing 5. If you're looking for a great action Superhero show that will make you laugh out loud then this is the show for you. Can't wait til Season 2!

I can't believe how much I loved Peacemaker! I've been looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it. I actually binged the entire first season over the a weekend. John Cena is a bonafide star now. He's so good in this, even better than he was in Suicide Squad. James Gunn has hit another home run with Peacemaker. It seems that every single thing Gunn touches is great. I read that he's taken over as the co head of DC studios. That's the best news to happen to DC in a long time. I'm sure he'll do a great job. Peacemaker has everything you want in a good superhero show...it has action, drama, comedy, twists, etc. I can not recommend this show enough.

Season 1 review (9/10): I loved 2021's Suicide Squad, but if you'd asked me who from the movie I would give their own series, Peacemaker would probably have been my last choice. Not that John Cena wasn't good, but who'd want to be stuck with that guy week after week?

But the brilliant James Gunn pulled it off. This Peacemaker is a surprisingly complex character with a backstory that puts his flaws *somewhat* in perspective, and also the series is hilarious and way out there (the opening credits are a first rate dance number).

The story is great, the action is great, there are terrific performances, more touching moments than you would expect, and a lot of amazing action sequences.

Highly recommended.

Season 2 review (7/10): Season 2 has the same excellent performances, plenty of action, and excellent performances. At times it's great. But it's vastly inferior to season 1. Even the opening dance number is inferior!

Much of the problem is this season is so trauma infused. Season 1 established that Peacemaker has a brutal backstory, but season 2 is almost exclusively devoted to that trauma - how it started, what it led to, and the impossible dream of rectification.

And that makes the season a bummer. In season 1 the trauma was background to action and plot, but here that's reversed, and it's tough going. And while the series picks up towards the end, the final episode ends so badly that I had to write a review of that episode going into how bad it was.

Much of it is still good, but there's a lot wrong with it.

The opening sequence is the best I've ever seen. Its so hypnotic I never skip intro.

This show is uncomfortably hilarious and easily one of the best superhero shows ever.

Peacemaker wasn't a stand out character in The Suicide Squad for me, so I wasn't that excited for this series, however after watching the show, seeing the character development and intriguing story line, I'm glad I decided to give it a go, I cant wait for the second season.

The casting is perfect. I LOVE vigilante, I hope S2 brings even more psychotic behaviour from him. His back story in the 1983 comic would make a great story line and help views understand why he is so messed up, and I wonder if we will het to meet 'Stuff' the Chinatown Kid.

This show is right up there with my favorite superhero film series of all time, Guardians of the Galaxy, coincidently also written and directed by the brilliant and crazy like-minded James Gunn. But what makes this show so addictively watchable and entertaining, is the award-worthy insanely funny and perfect performance by Cena. I can't see anyone else pulling this off as well as he did. This guy legit is a skilled actor, whether it's his action performances, emotional displays, or his perfect comedic timing and deadpan delivery. I mean wow, I'm hooked!

At first I was wtf is this, especially the opening credit's dancing, then as I grew to know the characters better, and seeing Cena do things that I'd never thought I'd see filmed, I realized how genius and different this series was, and the more I watched, the more I wanted.

I waited until all 8 episodes were released, and binged, and am glad I did. I may have lost interest or got too anxious in between releases, but in binging, I was glued to the TV and wanted more antics and craziness and I couldn't stop. I was addicted! Had I had to wait for the next episode a week later, I'd have withdrawals - it hooks you in that good!

This is Gunn's greatest creation, and Cena's greatest performance, and it was pulled off with a low budget, so I can't wait till HBO throws money at Gunn for the next season due to its critical success. Everything on this show was near perfection; Gunn's directing and writing, all casting and performances - what a bunch of characters! The cinematography, visuals and S/VFX spot on. Eagly is my new favorite sidekick! And Gunn's choice of the soundtrack and score - amazing! I will be buying that soundtrack when available for sure!

I applaud everyone involved in this little gem we all didn't know we wanted, but needed - a refreshing change in the typical superhero genre. It's a well deserved 9/10 from me, and I'm already having withdrawals, so get onto the next season ASAP ladies and gentlemen, I'll be re-watching the current episodes until then.

DC is finding its lane as the anti, non family friendly, comedically dark (or just dark dark) alternative to Marvel and I'm here for it. Gunn continues on his raunchy, goofy take on super heroes and while I guarantee it won't be everyone's cup of tea I believe it will be a smart move in the long run to go full on with the dark, more adult adaption of comics to contrast with Marvels increasingly Disneyfied approach.

A great dysfunctional set of characters with a cool eagle and cool visuals! :-) Hilarious irreverent humor delivered perfectly by John Cena! :-) It also has a good set of supporting cast!

Maybe cause I'm a huge James Gunn fan and loved The Suicide Squad movie I appreciate this series for what it is. I don't get the complains about the writing it's pretty solid maybe to much profanity otherwise it's brilliant and flows well! The music, cinematography, and humor and exciting vibes is all superb at least I'm excited for more; plus I crave anything woke I never understand the ones that bash brilliant/bold shows or movies.

All of season 1 plot and writing was so funny and enjoyable. All of season 2 felt like a subpar mid season development. S1 9/10- S2 4/10.

This forced rush DCEU using peacemaker as the bridge fell so short on enjoyable atmosphere. Everything in season 2 was very dissatisfying. Forced cringe dialogue through the entirety of it all.

Wow! I was Not expecting This! John Cena just blew me away with his likeability and just some of the funniest comedy I have seen since I can remember in such a show..The only other with such irreverant, side splitting ,raunchy laughs is The Boys.

His character was fun in the movie role ,but man, give this guy his own show and he just hits a home run!

Im only 1 episode in but I love it!

Funny well written and entertaining

Cena is hilarious in his superhero role his banter between some of the other characters is funny af.

The soundtrack of 90s glam rock is fantastic and if you grew up listening to that stuff makes it even better .

Worth a watch not for kids under a certain age .

We all know how great James Gunn can be, with both his Guardians of the galaxy movies being some of the strongest entries in the MCU. But with Peacemaker this is James Gunn's style cranked to the max, which might not be for the best.

The strongest aspect of the show is easily John Cena; he is fully dedicated to the role of Peacemaker and whenever he's on screen there's always something to appreciate. Peacemaker's relationship with his father is the centre of the show and by the end he has undergone a strong character arc.

The main problem with the show is the writing; the show is trying so hard to be funny and it's borderline unbearable at points. The show does this think where a joke is said and then they beat you to death with that same joke. It's painful to watch at points. Constant references which I just can't stand. Side characters like "dye beard" and Adebayo are unbearable as well (I don't know if it's the performances or the writing that's to blame). Rarely can the show take itself seriously or let a moment breathe. The writing really got on my nerves.

The first episode is somewhat strong and the last episode brings it back up, but that in between was a struggle at points. The show does have its moments in the in between but it's overshadowed by insufferable writing.

The action is great and has energy. James Gunn is a master at choosing appropriate soundtracks and the music here is fitting. The intro is also great.

Maybe the problem is James Gunn's writing doesn't fit a tv show. The central drama and plot is what held me and the show does have a lot of potential. With a tighter script for season 2 there's still hope for Peacemaker.

Season 1: Great, 10/10, no notes.

Season 2: I have never been to hibachi restaurant but i feel like Peacemaker Season 2 felt like what it would feel like if the chef would therw a bunch of stuff in the air and while i was waiting for him to catch them mid air and do something cool with them they would just fall to the ground while he was telling me a crude joke.

Season 1 was much more exciting. Season 2's story was no where close to as intriguing as season 1. There were some good elements but the long build up didn't have the payoff I was hoping for. I thought the acting improved, and there were great character moments. However, the story disappointed, finale could have been multiple episodes.

Season 1= 9/10 Season 2= 7/10.

Terrific first ep. I didn't like his character at all in the movie but Cena shines here. Some really funny stuff and a spectacular fight at the end. The other characters including Eagly are immensely entertaining to watch. Hats off to all involved. Looking forward to the rest of eps.

...I'm not a John Cena fan... at all... and I didn't like The Suicide Squad movie, especially the Peacemaker character, that came across as an unbelievable dumb caricature.

But this show (based off the first 3 episodes released) is actually very good indeed.

It's a crazy, no holds barred thrill ride... and it is FUNNY.

• and whatever James Gunn did to John Cena, to make him to explore the character in depth and make it less shallow, is actually working.

Not to mention the soundtrack, which is just awesome!

It reminds me of the excellent Happy! Show in style and form, though a little less cartoonish (no pun intended).

If it keeps up this quality, it may just be one of the best superhero shows ever made.

For now, a solid 8... with expectations for more.

I highly recommend it.

Edit:

After watching the whole first season, I have upgraded it to a 10.

It truly is one of the funniest and best superhero shows ever made - I can't wait for season 2.

EAGLY FTW!

Peacemaker is DC and HBO Max's latest offering that expands the DC Extended Universe, that are spinning out of James Gunn's acclaimed The Suicide Squad. It stars John Cena as the titular Peacemaker or Christopher Smith if we're talking about his civilian identity. He is joined by his pet eagle, Danielle Brookes as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma as Vigilante, Robert Patrick as Auggie Smith, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee as John Economos, Christopher Heyerdahl and many more in the series' talented cast. I liked everyone as they contributed so much to the show, from the chemistry and comedic timing but also the dramatic and action side of things. If I would name my two favorites, it would have to be Peacemaker and Vigilante as their chemistry went through the roof at times. Though I didn't expect Vigilante to be written like that as it isn't his comic book accurate but non the less I'm glad they did go down that route with him as it worked out perfectly.

Peacemaker is an extremely hilarious tv series and a damn good one. Comedy is a big part of the show, thanks to James Gunn's writing and John Cena's improv skills, each scene is extremely entertaining to watch. John Cena showed in The Suicide Squad how he can be a dramatic actor and he only adds to that in this performance as the tv series shows us the character's tragic backstory and Cena's performance is fitting and overall quite great, he's made for this role like Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool. The characters are all likeable, mostly because of how weird and extreme they are, James Gunn also wrote them flawed and human which helps a lot. The editing is excellent and the cinematography is quite good as well, the musical score too and especially the intro song and well the intro sequence, it was unexpected in a good way and you can say that to the entire show in how surprisingly great it is.

Picking up where The Suicide Squad left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price as he's forced to join the mysterious A. R. G. U. S. Black ops squad "Project Butterfly".

Whilst the show doesn't really take itself very seriously, Peacemaker is still a must watch and possibly one of the best shows of 2022. It's colorful and most importantly extremely fun, the drama is there with the actors nailing the more serious themes of the series, but it's also an unforgettable adventure with characters worth following. Peacemaker also made headlines for being one of the world's biggest shows, after five episodes. How James Gunn brought a character like Peacemaker and made such an incredible show, it shows how great a storyteller and director he is, full creativity is also a big reason and I'm glad Warner Bros is changing their ways and thank you HBO Max for confirming a second season. It will probably be bigger and the possibilities are endless.

Edit: For the second season, James Gunn sadly lost me with its lackluster screenplay and uneven story. I was entertained, sure, but this is far from the same quality as the first season which I hold in high regards. That's why I turned the rating down from a 9/10 to 8/10.

The first season was vastly original with actually funny comedy. The second season just completely off the rails. More multiversal bs with no funny jokes. The team bonding in the first season was lovable, where as the second they all are super annoying and just tried to f each other the most possible. Honestly thus far, DC is a mess. They had something going towards the end but nope let's just hand the keys to James Gun to write fan fiction about his wife with John Cena. Train wreck.

I vaguely recall watching Suicide Squad and I vaguely recall it being extremely bad. Possibly I was high, but overall it can't be that memorable. Nonetheless (and although I'm a superhero skeptic) I ventured into this one, because of the American flag on the poster, and the vague 'Vertigo Comics' feel of it all. Well it's not gritty, in fact it's downright goofy, but it's a lot of fun - similar to The Boys for its take on superheroes, but less centred on (a rather generic) worldbuilding, and more focused on characterisation. The mixture of grotesque patriotism, extreme brutality, glam rock and testosterone-toilet humour was hard to pull off and Gunn generally succeedd, helped by a good performance of John Cena, and by some very catchy dialogues. The action is also quite good, low on digital effects and high on unexpected violence. I look forward to more.

I was expecting Peacemaker to be awful, and it wound up having a lot of heart. James Gunn does it again with taking an obscure comic-book character (or characters) and making them household names.

Come on, what happened? I really liked this show, appreciated the humour, but something has changed with Season 2. Sure, there were serious moments in the first season, but S2 is actually quite, dare I say it... boring.

Great characters, but too much Agent Emilia. This is Peacemaker, not the Agent Emilia show.

Other than that, as above. Hopefully, it'll improve. It IS a good show, but it's possibly forgotten what really made it a very, very good show.

My favorite character in "The Suicide Squad" was "Peacemaker", but when I heard that the Series was going to be made, I wasn't very enthusiastic, but I watched it anyway and said "wow". It was a 4 times better series than I expected. The acting was perfect. Black comedy, action, music, I liked this series very much. I'm happy to season 2.

Bravo James Gunn !

From the world of dc comics, john cena is chris smith, self proclaimed peacemaker. He's strong enough to bail from the hospital, so he's back on the job. This opens with a quick summary of what came before. His mission, his jail sentence. And of course, the chip in his head that they can pop if he doesn't obey. So much cussing. And the violence. Not for the kiddies. When a one night stand goes very wrong, he realizes he's already caught up in a new mission. With harcourt and the crew to back him up, he's off to fight the butterflies. Lots of silly banter. Showing on hbomax. Good stuff! A new team member too. Written (and some episodes directed) by james gunn. Also did a whole lot of guardians of the galaxy.
