Peacemaker Season 2 received a mixed to generally positive reception, with many reviews highlighting its emotional depth and character development over action. The finale focused more on emotional payoffs than big superhero fights, which disappointed some expecting more action. John Cena’s portrayal of Peacemaker continues to be praised, and the chemistry between characters like Peacemaker and Emilia Harcourt was well received. However, the villain turn of Rick Flag Sr. in the finale was considered cartoonish and out of character by some critics. The season integrates into the new DC Universe and sets up future storylines in the DCU, although there are no current plans for Season 3. Overall, Season 2 is seen as a continuation of James Gunn’s unique take on the DC world, with a blend of humor, heart, and world-building, though some fans and reviewers found the tone uneven compared to Season 1.
