What to Know

Critics Consensus

John Cena's still in solid form in Peacemaker, leading a bloody good time that gives writer-director James Gunn full permission to let his freak flag fly.

You can tell theyve had an awful lot of fun with it. Go to Full Review
Rafael Motamayor Observer 03/31/2022
Butts get kicked, friendships are solidified, and we get the best joke in the DCEU to date. Go to Full Review
Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/22/2022
4/5
It’s a crass, gunge-smothered action romp and a moving drama about the death of the American Century: come for the thick, gooey substances, stay for the substance. Go to Full Review
Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation Aug 21
Cena impresses with his vulnerability on display, and the 11th street kids are better than ever. The multiversal elements feel warranted and important, and while the humor doesn’t hit as hard, there is so much to love about how personal it all feels. Go to Full Review

2/5
If only Peacemaker had the self-awareness to go into a full Joel Schumacher or Paul Verhoeven-style satire, it would be all the better for it. But that kind of poignancy, unsubtle as it is, feels out of place here. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
It's fantastic; one of DC's best. James Gunn brought the action, the heart, everything I would want in a superhero show, and he does it while making me laugh and think and feel. Go to Full Review

sebastian S @TrevorHabibi 1d Peak. Nothing else can describe it. See more D M Feb 11 After the less than stellar movie appearance of Peacemaker, I was at a loss when I heard he was getting his own series on HBO. I watched the first episode out of morbid curiosity. I loved it from the opening dance sequence. 2022 had some great series, but I think this might be my favorite. It was absolutely the most fun, by far. There's no cliffhanger season ending, it's the perfect self-contained series. ...something you can't say about season 2. See more SnEaKy @basaro_o Feb 4 Expected more, to be honest, especially after The Suicide Squad. I feel like the Peacemaker we saw in The Suicide Squad was absent. The humor is overdone and gets old after a while. The CGI, when someone is flying or when Eagly is present, is, in informal terms, horrendous and gets noticed very quickly. Also, how is Chris even still alive?? The positives, however, for me at least, were the action scenes when present, character bonding, especially with Chris and Adrian, etc. But God, I can’t stand Adebayo. I also didn’t like how, in the final episode, Chris tells Adebayo she’s his best friend after Eagly, completely disregarding and, frankly, disrespecting Adrian. Maybe I’m exaggerating, but that’s how I perceived it. Now that I mention all this stuff, I’m tempted to put this season at a 6/10, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt and stick with 7/10. See more Jonathan L @march15th Feb 1 Only about 10% of the jokes hit for me. I probably spent more time sighing and rolling my eyes at the terrible writing than I did actually watching. Typical trite trash that James Gunn puts out. That said, if you like his particular brand of art, then you'll probably love this too. I'm just saddened that he's now spearheading most of DCs stuff for the foreseeable future. Now, on to season 2. See more Joey A. @TheJoe1991 Jan 23 I really didn't think I would like this. I'm starting to get superhero fatigue and I used to collect comic books as a kid. I never heard of peacemaker and I'm a wrestling fan so, wrestlers don't have a really good track record of being good actors. But I loved everything about this show See more Lee H Jan 14 I really underestimated John Cena. The scene that I'll never forget is when the song "Would you love a creature" plays in the background while the Peacemaker gazes tenderly at Emilia Harcourt while she's looking elsewhere. The lyrics are "...I reach out to you, would you love a creature like me?" I had tears in my eyes. Without saying a word, his face expressed so much. I had no idea he had such range. I am so entertained by this series. See more Read all reviews
