I have watched all the episodes of Peacemaker on release since the original episode, and I don't really do that too often. Especially with a superhero show. Now, I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of superhero media. I enjoyed Guardians because I'm a sensible person, but everything else I've seen has fallen short of expectations. And that includes the Dark Knight. But this I really enjoyed, even if the plot is weak. Like basically everything else is pretty good, if not great. So let me give a basic run down of the plot.
Post suicide squad, Peacemaker (John Cena) leaves the hospital with minor injuries considering a literal building fell on him. Since he didn't exactly finish his job at Project Starfish and he's too good for jail apparently, he's back on the job with a new group of teammates. As the plot slowly unfolds, Peacemaker is revealed to be a walking talking contradiction (I'll elaborate on this in a minute)
As for the actual show, it's really good. I can't really describe the bad parts with out diving into spoiler territory so I won't. Deal with it. So here are the good parts:
1. The acting. John Cena, America's favorite profesional wrestler turned actor besides the Rock, is really good at playing a feminine man who is obsessed with 80's rock. Plus, everyone else is doing a really great job. Peacemakers team member Harcourt is actually spectacular in her role as a women who under her tough exterior is really nice.
2. The characters. Peacemaker is a very character driven show. Everyone in the cast has just so many layers. I never thought I could cry about a dyed beard until now. You'll know what I'm talking about once you watch the show. Everyone is also really interesting. This is a minor spoiler but Peacemaker is BFF's with an eagle... NAMED EAGLY. And get this, Eagly can fight, like he'll pounce on you in a moments notice if you look at Peacemaker the wrong way. It's honestly awesome.
