Winter Binged 2022 - Peacemaker - Season One

Peacemaker, created by James Gunn is another hot title from HBO Max. Based on the DC Comics character Peacemaker. 

I missed Peacemaker when it premiered on HBO Max/Binge (in Australia) back in January.

The series concluded with its action packed season one finale on February 17.  Peacemaker has received positive reviews, with praise going to John Cena's performance along with Gunn's directing and writing. 

A second season was ordered in February 2022, with Gunn set to write and direct all episodes. Additionally, several other The Suicide Squad spin-off series featuring characters from the film and Peacemaker are in development.

This is the first DC Extended Universe (DCEU) television series and a spin-off from the 2021 film The Suicide Squad. Set after the events of the film, the series further explores jingoistic killer Christopher Smith / Peacemaker (John Cena).

Alongside Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick also star.

Everything from the Do Ya Wanna Taste It by Wig Wam for the opening titles; the title sequence features the series' cast performing a choreographed dance number to the snappy pop culture comedy, this was leaps and bounds ahead of the recent Marvel TV series.


HBO Max really and truly onto good things. Tokyo Vice was another recent winner alongside the recent Sex & the City reboot.

I am very excited to see season two of this John Cena crude action series. Not as crude as The Boys, however way more enjoyable than the recent Ms Marvel.

Winter is almost done however I have got a few more series I am working my way through quick sticks! Another film review on the way too. Spoiler alert it's going to get a great star rating!
