(Warner Media sent the first seven episodes of Peacemaker in advance for this review.)
Peacemaker, a Warner Brothers TV program that you can watch on HBO Max, is a spectacular TV show romp that is guaranteed to entertain you with action and loads and lots of humour.
Peacemaker is a completely new TV program from James Gunn that acts as a followup to the Suicide Squad soft reboot. Gunn also wrote and directed the film. It revolves on the titular character, Peacemaker, and his mishaps in Evergreen.
While the program concentrates on Peacemaker, alias Chris Smith, it has a terrific ensemble cast, including NSA and ARGUS agent Emilia Harcourt and ARGUS assistant John Economos, who both appeared in the Suicide Squad film. Even Amanda Waller makes a brief appearance in the series, establishing that it is based in the same Suicide Squad world. Leota Adebayo, the squad’s newest member, and Clemson Murn, the unit’s leader, round up the new Task Force X team.
Chris Smith’s self-proclaimed closest buddy the Vigilante is one of two other cast characters worth noting in the series. At the start of the series, he is a “anti-hero” who stubbornly refuses to divulge his identity until he is unmasked and shown to be Adrian Chase. Peacemaker’s actual best buddy Eagly, his pet bald eagle, is one of the most improbable vigilantes; the other is Peacemaker’s true best friend Eagly, his pet bald eagle.
Show-stopper!
The program boasts excellent writing and is imbued with James Gunn’s characteristic humour, which can be seen throughout the series, including prolonged conversation that would typically be removed in shows and TV series that go to the point of absurdity. There are almost no throwaway characters in the series, and each one seems to be used to its full capacity, whether for action or humor. Jamil, a janitor who Peacemaker first encounters towards the beginning of the episode, is one of my favorite side characters.
The program includes eight episodes, and although there have been some complaints about the lack of action, it is a lot of fun. So much so that you won’t even realize the passage of time, making it ideal for binge watching. There are never any boring moments, and the story’s discoveries and suspense will keep you captivated if the humor hasn’t already. The humor is fantastic, and although it might be a little off-color at times, it isn’t utterly crude or without class.
This program is also not afraid to push boundaries, deviating from the rest of the DC Extended Universe in that it is neither dark nor family-friendly, and it has its own kind of humour. With so many name drops and allusions to other prominent and not-so-popular DC characters and properties, Peacemaker also pokes fun at its own mythos, and it’s not ashamed to tell you where the show belongs.
The acting is surprisingly good, with John Cena as Peacemaker leading the way. Cena is genuinely exhibiting acting range, not simply his traditional macho-type image that you are accustomed to with actors going from wrestling, according to our good buddy Haoson. If you were not yet persuaded by Cena’s performance in F9, you will be after seeing this series.
Freddie Stroma’s screwball take on Vigilante and Danielle Brook’s portrayal as the innocent and empathic Leota Adebayo make both characters loveable and surprisingly convincing. Even more interesting is the actor who played Peacemaker’s father, Robert Patrick. Patrick is known for playing tough cops and agents, and he does a fantastic job portraying the eponymous character’s father and all-around insane white supremacist.
It also includes fantastic action sequences and synchronized stunts, however some may say that there isn’t enough of them in this program. This, I believe, is due to the fact that the series focuses more on the plot and characters than on the actual action. That isn’t to say there isn’t any, and the visual effects are rather outstanding for a TV show with a smaller budget than The Suicide Squad film. I’m delighted this program is on HBO Max because it can be more irreverent and afford some high-budget VFX and explosions than its DC rivals on the CW (which has a history of showing weaker graphics, poorer writing, and a more “family-friendly” atmosphere).
Peacemaker is the series for you if you’re seeking for something that will make you chuckle while still allowing you to appreciate action scenes. James Gunn’s films are known for their irreverent humour and nearly incoherent speech. It’ll almost certainly be one of DC’s few hits (for now). The first three episodes of Peacemaker were released on HBO Max on January 13th, followed by one episode a week until the last episode on February 17th.
