    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.

    Loads of fun and laughs like The Suicide Squad! :-)

    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!

    This series is so juvenile, absurd, ridiculous, obnoxious, profane, raunchy, ludacris, sociopathic, outlandish... and I LOVE IT!

    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.

    Entertaining and Well-Crafted! Word of Caution: Profanity

    Following the disappointing characters and flaws in Suicide Squad, its sequel, The Suicide Squad, introduces us to a brilliant cast, notably The Peacemaker. This well-written character seeks justice and peace through any means possible, enriched by a believable past with family issues.

    The ensemble gathered for the missions in Peacemaker impresses with their performances. Peacemaker himself, Harcourt, Adebayo, Peacemaker's dad, the Police inspector were designed well and John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick & Annie Chang portrayed it well. Personally, I found Vigilante and Economos to be the standout favorites!

    The series excels in its compelling story, well-crafted plot, captivating antagonists, and lightning music keeping audiences entertained throughout. The DC Universe introduces us to their version of Iron Man, however, for few minutes (Dad).

    However, I highly disliked the excessive profanity. While I understand that characters undergo diverse arcs and scenarios, they could still be a little gentler with their words instead of resorting to constant and gratuitous use of offensive language. This aspect requires moderation. Is using the F words and offensive languages a fashion now?

    In conclusion, Peacemaker remains an exceptional series overall. I enjoyed it.

    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!

    Off-beat super-antics

    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.
