Peacemaker is a breath of fresh air in a genre that has become the equivalence of a broken tape recorder, sure the series has similarites with other comic-book adaptations, but what show doesn't? Gunn is mostly talked about as a director and rarely mentioned as a writer, but his unique sense of humor adds "class" to these band of misfits. And since people seem to like to compare, I'll take Cena over Larson any day of the week. The side characters are shallow and need a lot of development and the visuals could have been better. But considering the latest comic book adaptations we've gotten lately, I found Gunns approach to this universe admirable. I enjoyed the series for what it is, and more importantly for what it can be.
Judging by the reviews, this series is polarizing the critics and fans. Which is reminist of Gunn's older work. Slither(2006) is a fine example, considered to be a cult-classic, and to this day, one of my favourite guilty pleasures. Peacemaker is a wild trademark that might become it's own brand.
