I'm really excited for season 2, now that Jenna has reassured us that Gunn is continuing to make the DCU feel lived-in rather than contrived, rather than dominoes or a path to a big movie, and also keeping us feeling for the humanity of the characters. Superman√ Creature Commandos√ #Peacemaker √

Jenna Anderson @heyitsjennalynn.bsky.social · Aug 19

The first five episodes of #Peacemaker S2 are a revelation: bolder, wackier, and only making the DCU better and better. I am so unbelievably happy that this show exists.
