    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Peacemaker' is a standout superhero series with humor, action, and drama. John Cena's performance is praised for charm and depth. The show's irreverent tone and R-rated content are refreshing. James Gunn's direction and writing are acclaimed for balancing comedy with serious themes. The ensemble cast, especially Vigilante and Adebayo, delivers strong performances. Critics appreciate character development and complex themes, though some find humor and social commentary excessive. It's a fun, entertaining take on the superhero genre.

    One to watch

    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.

    Terrific

    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!

    Season 1 Better Than Season 2

    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.

    Laughed from beginning to end

    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.

    Excellent

    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.
