I love the opening credits, the dance number, the flat back comedy with all those ironic hints. That is one of the cleverest parts of the show and it feels like it’s telling you, don’t take this show too seriously.

The calm before the storm? We are wondering what’s going to happen in season two and to be honest I’ve watched a lot of TV and this feels like total shock value.

John Cena does well playing the emotionally wrecked peacemaker, this episode has a certain sense of calm in the beginning, but it quick scales into the obscene. Nathan Fillon who plays Guy Gardner, wow his hair is… I don’t know what to say to that. Every little line of dialog seems to go out of its way to be as crass as possible.

If I could describe this episode, I’d first have to mention the film Falling Down with Kurt Douglas. There is very much that feeling, of losing one’s job falling into the despair that follows and that rabbit hole you simple can’t get back from.

This is very much the hole that Peacemaker falls into, but his hole, is so much more wild.

The friendship he had with Emilia Harcourt, there, but, breaking, sends them both in very wrong directions. Emilia is clearly in a lot of financial trouble, she is clearly on the edge about to lose her very sparce home. Emilia decides to go crazy in a bar, did she get off on being beaten up? 

Back at Peacemaker’s residence, his dads old house which he seems to have moved into after living in a caravan in the previous season. That’s a lot of drugs he was putting into his system! Then at first, I thought all those naked people in his house were all part of his imagination due to that substance abuse. But now, the guy in the van! He sees them as well. And wow! Some look like they are actually having on screen sex! And when I grew up under a fairly conservative household, I am somewhat shocked they allow this on TV.

One of the main aspects about Peacemaker’s dads house is the pocket dimension room. This adds an interesting dynamic where he travels through the pocket from his own dimension to another where his brother and father are still alive and then finding his copy.

Meeting a version of yourself is one thing, know what to do is another. But accidently killing a version of yourself. That’s whole new mind fuck territory right now and that’s where the episode left us.

I am certainly excited for the rest of the show, but err on the side of caution if you decide to watch.
