The first episode of this second season, or at least when I first heard the opening intro song, I immediately thought to myself, "What is this?", upsettingly. The "Do you really wanna, do you really wanna taste it?" song was so catchy and having the cast do the dance moves through the intro just got absurd by the episode, and it was something we associated with Peacemaker. The show had heart, was crazy with a few funny lines and gags, but deep down, the show centred around a person who sees the world differently, has messed things up and has been trying to do what he can to make things right. So, hearing this new song, a completely different song for the intro, a "less catchy" one at that, did not seem as though it had the same formula or spark as the first season, especially because we have a new WB DC world since the first season. But as the episodes went on, the song became catchy as it grew on me, and just like the first season, the episodes got better and better, slowly revealing what is happening in this new world, and the twist at the end was superb and unpredictable.
Hardcourt, Adebayo and the rest of the '11th Street Kids' have gone into this other world to only realise, not only is it another world just like theirs, but the war was won by someone else (spoilers free), but Chris did not even notice the glaring major differences, so once he has these serious issues pointed out to him, Chris tries to escape with Hardcourt and the rest of the gang. Adebayo is saved by an unsuspecting ally, and they discuss what is going on, their history and how they see Chris before they decide to try and escape the world, but not before everyone is caught, and Chris witnesses another death that did not need to happen in his life, which may make him even more messed up than he already is.
