Pro tips for a smooth stream

Watch through the credits; Peacemaker often tags a stinger after the roll.
How long is the finale?
Episode 8 runs just over 57 minutes, the season’s longest entry. That extra headroom gives the showspace to resolve arcs for Chris Smith, Harcourt, Vigilante, and the 11th Street Kids—while leaving the door open for whatever the DC universe throws at them next.
Why this episode matters
Season 2 has balanced razor-edged comedy with emotional fallout from dimension-hopping chaos. The finale is positioned to bring those threads together: Peacemaker’s uneasy growth, team trust that’s been stress-tested all year, and the series’ playful habit of using absurd gadgets for serious consequences. Expect a bigger final act—cleaner action geography, a few last-minute turns, and a thematic choice that forces Chris to decide what “peace at any price” really means now.
One last checklist before you hit play
-
Start at release time to dodge spoilers on social feeds.
-
Refresh Episode 7 if you can; the finale picks up directly from its closing pivot.
-
Stick around after the credits—this show loves a last wink.
Bottom line: If you were waiting to binge the finale the moment it drops, tonight’s the night in the Americas—and early Friday morning across much of the world. Fire up Max, cue “Full Nelson,” and enjoy a finale built to feel like a true season capstone.
