Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
When I started watching Peacemaker I really didn't know what I was going to find, in fact I was always postponing it for one reason or another and after having enjoyed it all I don't know how much I regret not having watched it before. I think this series along with these characters and the whole context of The Suicide Squad is what is keeping DC Comics afloat right now. The series is incredibly good everywhere you look, it rarely happens that I have nothing bad to say about something and I think this is one of them.
It should be made clear that the Suicide Squad movie I'm referring to is the one directed by James Gunn, the mastermind behind this series as well and the culprit behind the success of both, because yes, that movie is extraordinary. Do you need to see it in order to see Peacemaker? - It is not so necessary but it would be good for you to have a little more context about the character. But well, without further ado, let's talk about this jewel of jewels that is here to stay.
Peacemaker or Christopher Smith (John Cena) is an antihero a bit silly and ridiculous who is always in search of peace, for him there is nothing more important than it and he is willing to do anything to get it, meaning anything like murdering in cold blood if necessary. As I said, it would be good for you to watch The Suicide Squad to understand a little better where he is coming from.
The point is that there is a mission of utmost importance so a group of people with different abilities is formed to face and achieve success. From here we will realize how dysfunctional almost everyone is and yet they have to find a way to understand and accept each other as they are.
When you start watching the series and the way in which the plot begins to develop you realize the hand of James Gunn. He is a director who has a very particular way of showing his product and he uses a lot of comedy but a bit acid and even black to the point that if you are a very sensitive person it might make you a little uncomfortable. And that's the magic of the series, that he doesn't hold anything back because in it there are characters of all kinds, Peacemaker himself is a bit of a jerk until you understand his background and you begin to empathize with him.
In addition to the comedy we also see many scenes where the explicit is the order of the day, blood, violence, that moment when a bullet hits and half a brain is blown up, that for me is gold because they are elements that give the series a showiness but without being exaggerated in its use, everything has its moment. Obviously it has its touch of absurd fiction and that's what makes the series work, those details that when you see them you just laugh.
And continuing with the above, absurdity is the banner of this series. A script full of nonsensical dialogues in the middle of conversations of utmost importance is something that is definitely funny like you have no idea. And as absurd as Peacemaker's pet in a bald eagle that hugs him but instantly believe me you get attached to him. Anyway, a story that is about killing people but has these details that make you enjoy it twice as much. And it's all so good that there's something I NEVER talk about but it's worth mentioning, the intro of the series along with the song, you see it and you'll sing along, I assure you.

Let's get to the characters. I must say that John Cena is a phenomenon, I follow him since his time in WWE and he has always been a person who has been good at "acting" and oratory in front of a microphone and yes, he is very funny, his character gives genuine laughter. But it is a deep character because his way of acting has a reason to be, there are things from his past that haunt him and that is why he is the way he is. Very good performance by Cena, a good casting choice for the character.
We have Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) who is the tough one of the team but with a good heart at heart, Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) is the one who is forced but in the end ends up being a fundamental piece in the team, Economos (Steve Agee) is the misunderstood of the group, a good character too and Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) who is a sociopath with zero empathy but somehow ends up connecting with everyone. And for the end I leave Chris' dad, Auggie (Robert Patrick), the real villain of this story, a character that you will hate instantly for his way of thinking and acting, do not lose sight of him.

Conclusion: an epic series with a touch of The Boys (Amazon Prime) that has it all. Good plot, excellent action scenes where all were well done, the acid comic touch that will always give a plus to the story and dialogues, good characters where each in their own way manage to leave a stamp and do not go unnoticed; in short, many elements to be considered one of the best series that will be in this 2022.
It wasn't complicated to decide the rating but here I go with 9.5/10 because for me it's perfect, I want to find something negative to say and the truth is that I can't find it, surely it must have it but I can't find it. I don't know if it's because I'm a big fan of this whole world or because the series is genuinely that good, or both. You can watch it on HBO Max and it has 8 chapters of approximately 45 minutes long. Here is the trailer so you don't hesitate and go see it.
