Peacemaker

Peacemaker the tv show was a great experience. Recently I was able to check out the HBO Max spinoff show of The Suicide Squad. This new series starring John Cena is cool, it focuses on the life that Peacacer came from and how it made him into the person that he is today thanks to my mother-in-law and her subscription to the platform I was able to dive into this show. 

The HBO Max show Peacemaker is an interesting look into the DC Universe, before I saw The Seaside Squad I never heard of the character Peacemaker. To be completely honest when I decided to watch the Suicide Squad. I was very excited to see this character Peacemaker because of the performance that John Cena had in the portal of the character in the trailer. I did not expect much out of him because I was unaware of how good Cena would be. I simply thought that he would be a comedy relief in the film. I was pleasantly surprised by how great of an actor he was and how he just embodied the role. After seeing that I had no choice but to watch the spinoff show.

So from start to finish, the show was amazing. It has a lot of charm and character. This show was a journey into the mind and the life of a Peacemaker. We get to see the trauma that shaped him from the abuse from his father and the loneliness and depression that he struggles with. There is a lot of self-reflection and growth in this series. Next to Peacemaker, my favorite character was his partner in crime, Vigilante. He is truly a disturbed human being, but oddly is a character that offers a balance to Peacemaker. Now if I was to meet any of these people in the world I would just avoid them because there are too many crazy people in one place. Also, they seem unlucky and I don’t want to be killed by mistake. 

In closing, I think that if you like the DC Universe watch this show. If you like John Cena watch this show because you will not be disappointed. And don’t worry if you have not watched the previous Seaside Squad films yet because this is a solo adventure. Some references are made back to the film but they are few. Go into this series with an open mind and you will find a lot of what you are looking for.
