Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2 Review: Chris Searches for Meaning in the Wrong Place

Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2 Review: Chris Searches for Meaning in the Wrong Place

Well, that’s one way to follow up a premiere.

All of my concerns with Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 1 washed away the second Episode 2 rolled around.

In hindsight, HBO Max would have been far better off dropping both hours together because, side by side, they feel like the perfect reintroduction to James Gunn’s twisted little corner of the DCU.

Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2 Review: Chris Searches for Meaning in the Wrong Place
(Erin Sintoes/HBO Max )

Let’s start with Chris, who is still reeling after killing the other Chris.

Bringing Vigilante in to help with the cleanup was classic Peacemaker — absurd, hilarious, and a little unsettling.

Vigilante grinned from ear to ear while sawing up body parts, while Chris looked like he was about to vomit.

    by Paul Dailly
  • My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2: Worth the Wait — Except for the Central Love Triangle
    by Jack Ori
  • Countdown Season 1 Episode 11 Finally Reveals What’s Wrong with the Show
    by Denis Kimathi

That duality is exactly why their dynamic works: one thrives in chaos, the other is tortured by it.

And yet, the two men somehow managed to dispose of a body and then casually head to a party. Only on this show would dismemberment and a drug-fueled orgy sit comfortably in the same plotline.

(Curtis Bonds Baker/HBO Max )

Peacemaker Season 2 Is Juggling Multiple Realities

Vigilante being more upset about missing the orgy than the corpse was peak comedy, but also telling.

He craves connection so desperately, but his obsessive tendencies sabotage him at every turn. He’ll go to bat for anyone — and go way too far in the process.

Freddie Stroma is clearly having the time of his life in this role, and I hope Gunn and Peter Safran give Vigilante a proper arc this season rather than reducing him to comic relief. He’s too fascinating to waste as a plot device.

Chris, meanwhile, is spiraling. Disposing of a body should be the wake-up call he needs, but instead, he’s losing his grip.

With the team fractured after Amanda Waller’s secrets came to light at the end of Peacemaker Season 1, he’s desperate to find meaning anywhere he can. Unfortunately, he’s looking in all the wrong places.

(Curtis Bonds Baker/HBO Max)

The other universe is calling to him, and who can blame him? His real life is crumbling. His father, his brother, and even a version of Harcourt exist over there.

To him, it must feel like a second chance, a chance to build the family and relationships he’s been denied.

But Chris isn’t thinking straight.

  • TV Gave Us a Million Cop Shows, But Reporters Get the Short Stick
    by Carissa Pavlica
  • Hotel Costiera’s Trailer Conjures Up Almost Paradise & Magnum P.I. Nostalgia
    by Jasmine Blu

He doesn’t realize that putting all his hopes into this alternate reality risks blowing up his current friendships and alienating the people who actually have his back.

And let’s not forget Rick Flagg Sr. His vendetta is personal and relentless, which makes him a liability for A.R.G.U.S. The fact that Eagley pecked away at agents only painted a bigger target on Chris’s back.

(Jessica Miglio/HBO Max )

Rick is blinded by grief and rage, and while his motives are understandable, his inability to see the bigger picture will endanger everyone.

Could Rick Flagg Return?

I wouldn’t be surprised if his son somehow appears in the other reality, further complicating things.

That’s the risk of introducing multiverse elements — it can either unlock fresh storytelling possibilities or make the show feel like just another cog in the DC machine.

So far, Gunn has kept Peacemaker distinct, and I hope that continues.

On the relationship side, Leota and Keeya’s marriage is in shambles.

Leota Takes Aim - Peacemaker Season 1 Episode 3
(Katie Yu/HBO Max)

They had great chemistry in Season 1, but now, they feel like strangers. Leota clearly wants to save what they had, but Keeya’s frosty reaction to her estranged wife walking back into the apartment made it clear that words alone won’t fix this.

Leota’s devotion to her job pulled her away from Keeya, and finding balance between work and home seems impossible for them right now.

It’s sad because they were such a bright spot last season, but the writing is on the wall: if they don’t make real changes, there may not be a path forward.

  • Industry Lost Its Plot When It Shifted Away from Its Younger Characters
    by Sam Huang
  • Murder in a Small Town Season 2’s Big Loss Will Rock the Team
    by Laura Nowak

Whether the show gives them the space to rebuild or uses their crumbling marriage to underscore the cost of this line of work remains to be seen.

What really worked on Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2 was the tonal balance.

The first episode felt like a cautious setup, but this one embraced everything that makes Peacemaker so addictive: grotesque humor, messy relationships, and surprisingly thoughtful character beats.

(Erin Sintoes/HBO Max)

Gunn has always excelled at weaving heart into chaos, and you can see that here in Chris’s yearning for belonging and Leota’s desperation to hold onto love.

Overall, this was one of the series’ strongest hours yet.

The multiverse thread could still go off the rails. DC projects have leaned heavily on alternate realities lately, but for now, it feels grounded in character rather than spectacle. And that’s when Peacemaker sings.

I’m unsure where things will go next, but I’ll be watching every step of the way.

What are your thoughts on Chris’s growing reliance on the other reality? Is he making a huge mistake, or is this his best shot at happiness?

(Jessica Miglio/Max)

What do you make of Leota and Keeya’s relationship woes?

Can they fix things, or is it already too late?

What’s your take on the season so far?
