The Review: Peacemaker Season 2

Peacemaker Season 2 (6/10)

Full disclosure: if this had ended with episode seven I would have given this a 9/10. The finale was so all over the place that it ruined what was a pretty good season if I don't stop and think about certain things. The story felt like it was rushed towards the end when they could have stayed in the multiverse portion for longer and examined that world more. Vigilante was the standout performer this season. Other just wore on me and what was once funny became annoying. Adebayo talked different than before. Not sure how to explain it but she sounded...off. This season had a couple of touching moments and genuine great acting on the part of Peacemaker but then it was like “Fuck that this is now a pilot for some other shit that's planned!” And the many music montages wore my ass out quick. I'm not clamoring for another season of this or wondering where it could go. There is a certain type of storytelling I think I am outgrowing and this fits into it (along with Gen-V which I won't bother even writing about). Not superhero stuff. Just certain types of superhero stuff.

The Review: Peacemaker

Peacemaker 10/10

No complaints! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this series. Everyone was cast perfectly. The music was cool. The action was amazing as well as graphic as all hell. I did not think this would be as good as it was considering I don't know shit about the character from the comics. I knew who he was from the strange helmet but could never tell you his name if asked. So when he popped up in The Suicide Squad I enjoyed him but didn't know how they would be able to make an entire series featuring him. They somehow did and made one of the best TV shows of the year and its only February. I know some folk are burned out by superhero based movies and shows and I am not. I just want good ones and this was one of the best made. Seriously. No complaints! You know how rare that is for me?!
