‘Peacemaker’ Season 1
With the Season 2 trailer dropping last weekend during San Diego Comic Con, there’s no better time to rewatch Peacemaker Season 1 (or watch it for the first time!) ahead of the August 21 premiere. The DC series from James Gunn follows Peacemaker (John Cena) in the aftermath of the events of The Suicide Squad as he’s forced to join a black ops squad called “Project Butterfly” alongside A.R.G.U.S. agents Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), Economos (Steve Agee), and Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), mercenary Clemson Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji), and Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), a self-proclaimed superhero who considers himself to be Peacemaker’s best friend. Peacemaker manages to strike the perfect balance of absurd, touching, and hilarious, with perfect hair-metal needle drops all throughout its 8-episode run.
