Peacemaker (2022)

Peacemaker (2022) — action/adventure comedy series Picking up after the events of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker follows Christopher Smith (John Cena), a brash, ultra-patriotic vigilante who returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport — only to learn his “freedom” is conditional. He’s quickly drafted into a covert government operation and teamed with a mismatched squad to hunt a secret, dangerous threat that forces him to confront who he really is and what he’s willing to do for peace. What you’ll experience watching: - High-octane, often brutal action sequences mixed with broad, R-rated comedy and frequent profanity. - Dark, satirical takes on superhero tropes and American machismo, played for both laughs and cringe. - Strong character work: the show mines surprising emotional depth as Peacemaker wrestles with trauma, family (notably a toxic father), and the question of redemption. - A ragtag ensemble dynamic — tense, absurd, and oddly affectionate — that fuels much of the show’s humor and conflict. - A pulsing, nostalgic rock soundtrack and punchy dialogue that keep the pace lively. - Serialized mystery and sci-fi elements (a hidden, parasitic threat) that underpin the plot across episodes. Tone-wise expect a blend of brutal action, raunchy comedy, and earnest character drama. If you enjoyed The Suicide Squad’s mix of violence and irreverence but want more focus on an antihero’s personal arc, Peacemaker delivers a noisy, fun, and unexpectedly emotional ride. Content warning: explicit language, graphic violence, and adult themes.
