James Gunn's "Peacemaker" Conquers Critics

In September 2020, director James Gunn announced a surprising novelty related to The Suicide Squad: a spin-off for the streaming giant HBO Max dedicated to Peacemaker, the character played by John Cena who has won numerous fans.
The series, written entirely by James Gunn (who has directed many episodes as well) will be released on January 13 in the US, while there are still no actual confirmations regarding the arrival in other countries.

Recently, the American press had the opportunity to preview 7 episodes out of 8 (some journalists only watched three), and the verdict seems to be decidedly positive!
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.
