Peacemaker is just flat-out fun to watch. Read full review

Expands on The Suicide Squad's foul-mouthed and unrepentantly trashy action with eight episodes of cursing, stadium rock and body horror all wrapped around a surprisingly affecting character-driven drama. Read full review

Gunn scores a bullseye with this series, blending vulgarity, heart and sheer insanity for a winning, killer combo – not to mention, an unskippable opening-credits sequence that you’ll never grow tired of watching. Read full review

Peacemaker, if you can stomach the title character’s lunkheaded views (and temporarily forgive if not forget his actions in The Suicide Squad), is a lot of James Gunn fun. Read full review

It’s intriguing enough to keep us watching. And, given the fact that the show gives a montage of Peacemaker’s story in The Suicide Squad, you shouldn’t need to see the film in order to get the series. Read full review

It’s an odd show in that it’s like a footnote to the film—less ambitious, less funny, less action-packed—but it’s also enjoyable episode to episode, scene to scene. Read full review

So far, many of the superhero shows invading TV (Marvel and DC) have been a be careful what you wish for propositions: want more character and less mindless action? Well, that only works when the characters are multi-dimensional and the writing is top-notch. Argue all you want, about what’s been seen on Disney+ so far (and the less said about the embarrassing DC/The CW, the better), but “Peacemaker” does not make a case for its main character’s existence beyond the big screen, let alone as the front and center lead.

The whole crew knocked it out of the park. No bad episodes, not even any weak episodes. Funny and dramatic they do both equally excellently.

I really am looking forward to more of the same.

Thanks to all!

This show is incredible! I love the 80s/90s vibes and James Gunn is INSANE for somes things.

Yes! This is exactly what I needed. This show is hilarious and exciting. John Cena is amazing in this.

What the actual **** is going on? I mean, it's not a comic-show-renaissance, but after the huge success of The Boys, we had a WandaVision and an Invincible last year. And, I didn't expect a single **** from this series, but... damn, I disappointed in myself. James Gunn is truly the lastWhat the actual **** is going on? I mean, it's not a comic-show-renaissance, but after the huge success of The Boys, we had a WandaVision and an Invincible last year. And, I didn't expect a single **** from this series, but... damn, I disappointed in myself. James Gunn is truly the last chance of DC. The only guy who can make stuff like Peacemaker if he wants. So, is this show good? No, this is ****ing awesome! A literal miracle happened: it is funny! And, John Cena was great as Peacemaker. But some of the supporting characters were even better than him (yes, Vigilante, I meant you right there, the most brilliant superhero-psychopath on television after Homelander). There is so much personality in this show, right from the first crazy opening titles to the very ending. For me, its adult, yet childlike style suited it very well. Deserves an 8.… Expand

First episode is pretty alright. It has great possibilities. I am excited to see what happens next week.

This show is pretty good in a classic James Gunn way. He uses a misfit team to fight shapeshifting aliens just like in Slither or Guardians of the Galaxy.

This show is utter trash and Cena doesn't deserve to get his own show. It is just vulgarity and pointless boring dialogue trying to be 'edgy'. What a load of garbage.
