It kinda does what The Boys did but it does not do it quite so well. Still, Peacemaker gets better with each episode so even if it starts out with severe tonal issues the show is surely worth a watch.
My biggest "issue" is the humour and sometimes off-putting characters but again that gets better after a while. It's kinda like Gunn is doing what he did with Guardians, but in a much more gruesome world - this does sometimes manifest itself with jarring tonal dissonance. There is also the "mandatory" social justice stuff that's sometimes written well and sometimes it's just there as it usually is. It's nothing that bad though and as mentioned the show seems to grow into itself towards the end and the writing seems to find it's own lane.
Even though using music from established bands and artists is almost a cliche at this point in superhero movies and TV-shows the soundtrack is still pretty damn good and used well with just a few exceptions.
Looking forward to season 2.
