I may adjust this later but....15 minutes in and I absolutely LOATHE the plus-size African-American character. What a frikkin chore! A completely unlikeable character.

While it's very well shot, well-choreographed action-wise, and features some great licensed music usage (as per usual from Gunn), Peacemaker falls very flat in the comedy department. It's just not a particularly funny show and relies far too much on grade-school level cursing and gross out humor that just doesn't land the overwhelming majority of the time. It's as if James Gunn is just trying to abuse the R-rating privilege before returning to PG-13 work with Disney (which, admittedly, he's much better at writing and executing). The characters, both new and returning from TSS, also really just don't land. A lot of them feel very same-y and don't differentiate themselves enough from one another, and the lead in Peacemaker himself is just a really annoying character to spend time with most of the time. He's just aggravatingly dumb most of the time and his character shift seems far too sudden compared to how vehemently unlikable he was by the end of TSS. I can appreciate this show for the fact it's very well-made, but otherwise I still really question the decision from WB to make this show for this character, rather than say Ratcatcher 2, Amanda Waller, or Bloodsport.… Expand

Amazing story, I stay up every Wednesday until midnight so I can get the next part of the story. The camera work is fantastic, in the first episode it has an amazingly choreographed fight seen with Cena and wow.

Messy storytelling, unfunny humor where the joke is always just to belabor a point, a lot of virtue signaling from James Gunn, and stakes you never quite feel because the whole thing feels like an SNL sketch run way too long. The overuse of the word **** borders on the absurd and was extremely distracting. The only thing it kind of excels at is fight choreography.… Expand
