I just binged all of 'Peacemaker' on HBO Max before the season 2 finale — and it's everything I've been missing from the MCU

(L-R) John Cena and Danielle Brooks in "Peacemaker" season 2, episode 1.

The MCU and I are barely on speaking terms since "Avengers: Endgame" (with the exception of "Thunderbolts" and maybe "Black Widow," but I'll love just about anything if you throw Florence Pugh in it). But the last thing I expected to fill the MCU-sized hole in my heart was HBO Max's "Peacemaker" series.

For starters, I'd never been a huge fan of any DC heroes outside of "Watchmen," which purists will tell you barely qualifies as DC. When I heard John Cena's (admittedly very funny) side character from James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" was getting his own spin-off, I wrote it off as something I've been calling "Boy TV."
