According to what we can read, the series is fierce, hilarious, and deeply touching with John Cena perfectly placed in the role of Peacemaker. Also, it may be James Gunn's best work in terms of writing. Notably, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has certified Peacemaker as "Fresh" with 92% positive ratings from American critics.

We've seen the first seven episodes of @jamesgunn's #Peacemaker and can tell you, that it is a crude, irreverent, and profoundly thoughtful meditation on what it means to be a third tier superhero. This is the best thing from DC since...ever.

I guess we can talk about this now.
I LOVE #PEACEMAKER. @JamesGunn gets both darker and more heartfelt with his TSS spin-off. But don’t take my word for it, @heyitsjennalynn wrote a bunch of much better words here: https://t.co/juqS1v142IWith HBO Max’s ‘Peacemaker,’ writer-director James Gunn packs a gloriously goofy superhero parody and a sincere character study into one irreverent series.

I don't know how @JamesGunn did it but #Peacemaker feels like a deranged workplace comedy with a heart of gold and I love it. Full review:https://t.co/FgcZ5Ezu18 pic.twitter.com/mpBgQ9RUVA

My spoiler-free review of #Peacemaker is here for @slashfilm. I absolutely love this series and I have so many questions I want to ask @JamesGunn. Wow. Wow wow wow. Y'all aren't ready for this. https://t.co/mIUW0V5qP1 pic.twitter.com/EjGRe6AWCF

I didn't think #Peacemaker would be my kind of show, but goddam @JamesGunn knows how to balance inappropriate fun and heart in the best way possible. Also, the choice of music throughout the series is a whole ass mood... and you're gonna REALLY enjoy the opening credits. pic.twitter.com/Xh1jUb4twV

#Peacemaker is a great follow-up/companion to The Suicide Squad. It’s violent, raunchy and pretty funny. John Cena is awesome in this irreverent, wacky series that doesn’t hold back on the DCEU and the superhero genre. Whole team/cast is great. Plus, Eagly FTW. @DCpeacemaker pic.twitter.com/Y6uiKZyto5

The @DCpeacemaker series is AWESOME! @JamesGunn follows #TheSuicideSquad with a dirty, raunchy, extremely funny show that's surprisingly warm & wholesome in the right ways, while talking about generational trauma & abuse. @JohnCena is equally a riot & emotional as the main dude. pic.twitter.com/m9cILyT7ur
