Yup, season finale is tomorrow, and today, they've announced that's it's been renewed for a second season.

Well that was fun, I never tire of how the capes were complete morons but also competent.

Vigilante was hilarious and makes Harley Quinn seems sane.

Vigilante was the breakout for me. I love him and thought he stole pretty much every scene he was in.

Vigilante was a break through and its amazing that he was so likeable as a Psychopath.


I loved that the cameo players were just into it.



The Torpedo helmet was just so much fun.

I liked Economos because he was a hilarious foil, but Brooks really felt like the glue that held this whole thing together.

She was phenomenal.

Overall, it was weird, it was wild it was classic insane James Gunn nonsense and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Another excellent run in Gunn's repertoire of somehow making you care for characters that you really shouldnt care about.

They are nobodies who are largely awful but you're cheering for them.

There are rumors online that a character from this show is going to show up in Black Adam. I like the little cameos that are starting to happen in the DCEU, really makes it feel like a fleshed out universe.

I'd be cool with it being Vigilante. But not in his superhero getup. Just him clearing dishes at a restaurant.

This series is a lot of fun. And that Wig Wam song is a damn earworm.

Fun trivia, James Gunn and Jennifer Holland (Agent Harcourt) are now engaged.

So I'm guessing that making Peacemaker was a lot of fun for them!

Does James Gun run around the house with the human torpedo helmet on?

Thought Peacemaker was great. Not a lot to no like, just well done all around. Casting was great as was the chemistry of the actors. Just the right balance of ridiculous fun.


Had a lot of friends work on this show and they loved it. Said it was one of the best shows they have ever worked on.

Really enjoyed this a lot. Just binged it over the last few days. Lots of laughs. Great action. Cool story. I liked the butterflies. I like that Gough is still alive (probably still lots of of them butterflies. Vigilante was great as noted. Like a jolly Rorschach. Cena’s great too. Got better acting chops than a lot of action stars.

Outside of Batman this is the best thing DC has done.

During the season I noticed her character arc shifted from "end of season victory bang" to "long term love interest." When a director falls in love with an actress its usually only good for the actress and her character was not one of the bright spots of the show.

Vigilante whistling dixie while shooting kids in the face. This show really reminds you that Gunn started off off as a shock-horror director.

9.5/10. Only knock I'd put on it is that it took Cena a bit of time to get comfortable with his character and the tone in the first few episodes was a little janky. I'm looking forward to re-watching this season and it's pretty rare that I re-watch anything these days.
