Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People

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!

I recently subscribed to hulu and heard about this on radio. I thought it was a cooking show though!

I was pleasantly surprised. It was such an unusual series for me. I had no knowledge of spicy Peppers and had no idea it was such a 'thing'!

I ended up feeling like I wanted to get to know the characters who had me and my teenager son glued to the screen.

I actually wanna grow some Peppers this year and if I ever get a chance I'm thinking about trying a contest hehe

I recommend this as easy, fun viewing that feels oddly familiar and comforting even if you are not a 'Pepper Person'. There are no spoilers here, but you MUST watch the boxing match part!

Recommended!

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.

...what a show! I'm an amateur grower of other people's seeds, I have little interest in 'finding' my own strain, but it was amazing to see the world of the people who are dedicated to finding that next killer-hot variety of chilli.

Production value was great, top notch watch. The characters they chose to follow were diverse and really interesting. The storylines were captivating. The narrator (or script writer) had a great sense of humour and kept the episodes flowing nicely.

I can't but give this a 10/10, best entertainment I've had in a long time. Really hoping there's a season two, I'll be there with my next harvest of chillies 🙂

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.
