Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People

As a big Chilli head, and competitor, I couldn't help but smile while watching this series.

The people involved in this show have made such a big impact on my life it's unreal. Shahina, Paul, Johnny, Goot, and all of the amazing people in the background are my family now.

This show finally gives a look into some of our lives, and a little idea of why we do what we do.

From planting the seeds, to the picking of the rip pods, to the cooking/experimenting with those pods, to the competitions and aftermath of those competitions.

It all mushes together to make something incredible.

Being a competitor then seeing this play out on TV is just incredible! I hope there is more seasons to follow, because this 10 episode series was just the top of the iceberg!

Love you all, The Scoville Unit

PS I don't regret cramping on a bathroom floor for 2.5 hrs, or showing my butt crack 🤣.

Okay, here's my take on this:

(For what it's worth, a close friend of mine is a competitive eater in the spice world, and I have mistakenly tried to keep up with hot challenges on more than one occasion, so maybe this speaks more to me than the average viewer.)

As far as personalities, I think they chose the perfect people to represent this subculture! This is such a fun watch.

From a knowledge standpoint, I feel like I did learn a LOT about the pepper community from this, and it never felt like a lecture. I had briefly experienced this culture, but only tangentially. I love the opportunity presented here and I can only hope for more as this series continues.

I'll take an extra bite from my Carolina Reaper jerky and look forward to a follow up series! Cheers.

I had never heard of the superhot pepper community, before watching this series. I found the series very interesting, and what a cast of characters! You got your choice of the down South Louisiana pepper grower, Troy Primeaux ( of the 7 pot primo pepper fame), your UK/Brit lady Waheen "the Queen" of superhot pepper eating competitions, she's won about 100...despite not even liking peppers. Then, there's the sweet newbie Aurea the Chilipino sweetie in Chicago, and the paranoid pepper grower Jimmy Pickles who is so paranoid of people stilling his pepper seeds, he guards all his peppers like a prison guard.

I could keep going on this show, but you need to watch it yourself to see the ongoing pepper saga.

This series is a nice look at the surface of the community I've had the privilege of being part of for the past 6 years. I personally know some of the people in this show and have interacted with most of the rest. They definitely showcased the broaded veiw of the community, so i hope the can dive deeper into the groups and what we like to do on a daily. We really are a family. I hope they continue to show more of this world to people outside and allow some of the misinformation that's out there to be corrected. I'm hoping for more seasons because there is so much more to show of the community and alot more people deserving of mention. Good job Hulu.

The show is so much fun to watch and about such an unusual subject that really piqued our interest! The interwoven storylines that focus on the pepper eaters, the sauce makers and the pepper growers works sooooo well! The way they all link together and continuously entertained us was impressive.

This will be enjoyed by everybody, not just those people who already understand the world of peppers and hot food!

The production and creative expertise is top-notch. The director and the professionals who made this are at the top of their field, evidently.

The cast were real and that was very endearing.

10 out of 10! Highly recommended!
