    They took the worst character from the recent Suicide Squad film and gave him a show. The results are pretty much what you would expect.,

    Very limited comedy, Comedy that is geared for the mind of a 14 year old, and bland exposition, with gore and violence slathered in as filler. The thing that is genuinely funny is the Eagle and its just a stand in for Groot/King Shark.

    All jamming out to an absolutely horrendous sound track of songs that were pop culture B sides even during their heyday. That being the whole late 80s, early 90s hair metal phase. Though a few modern tracks sprinkled in to blend it out such as BAND-MAID / Choose me which is one of the best tracks used in the 3 ep premier

    Definitely a massive step down from what Doom Patrol is able to accomplish with comparative ease. Though far more violent than doom patrol.

    The end of the 3rd ep sets up the premise of the show clearly and to be fair if future episodes focus more on the humor than the gore there is potential here. They just did a poor job illustrating it in its premier.

    4.25/10 rounded down. Given that early January is obscenely light on content, will continue watching as a filler show with the hope it will get better. So basically a two week extended trial period to improve till better shows start/resume.

    Edit: 4th episode was a modest improvement but not anywhere near enough to justify increasing the score. Still the same overall problems but the humor was at least a bit more balanced in this episode.    … Expand

    A little of beat and sometimes funny, James first attempt at a show feels like almost something. All the right pieces are the:the show is stylish, confident and light heartedly violent. It's flaw being awkward comedic timing,most of the cast fails at delivering their punchlines (with the exception of the vigilante who is phenomenal! ) . It's enjoyable mostly abd well paced ,season 2 coukdA little of beat and sometimes funny, James first attempt at a show feels like almost something.

    Christopher/Peacemaker’s un-PC humour and macho prowess often give way to a surprising soulfulness that’s beautifully played by the former wrestler, and while the swerves from mayhem into pathos are often breakneck, they’re always expertly steered. The same could be said for the show at large, which owes much of its addictiveness to Gunn and his cast’s commitment to keeping their audience off-guard.

    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.

    Cena makes all of this click, transforming the muscular manchild from a two-dimensional buffoon into a lost soul figuring discovering his purpose.
