Thankfully, that’s exactly what Peacemaker Season 2 is: an entry point that delivers a DC primer while also delivering a touching story. That said, not all of Peacemaker Season 2 (for which critics received the first 5 episodes of 8) is emotional. Frank Grillo plays grieving father Rick Flagg Sr. in Peacemaker Season 2. If Superman and Peacemaker Season 2, the first live-action series and movie of James Gunn’s DCU, are our sign of what’s to come ahead, then clearly we’re in safe hands. Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21 on HBO Max.
