#Peacemaker Season 2 rules. I've seen 5 of 8 episodes and the narrative direction it takes shocked me!

Peacemaker is great. Harcourt is a standout. It's funny. Ridiculous. Shocking. Emotional. Love it.

The longing for human connection in these flawed characters is wonderful. pic.twitter.com/ajLJ4IoqTN

The reason I love #Peacemaker S2 so much is the characters. I'm invested in the 11th Street Kids, & want to spend as much time with them as possible. @JamesGunn's writing brings unexpected depth (and pain). And I love the emotional hook of S2. Hilarious and heartfelt. It's GREAT. pic.twitter.com/i6spdojPex
