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 tried more than once to 'get into' this series after the amazing SoA series that preceded it.

I just could not do it! I think this is a victim of that series success and the strength of the SoA characters means you will watch this and yearn for the same level of entertainment.

I did manage to watch the whole series and just did not come away feeling thrilled. It is certainly not as bad as many other reviews suggest, but there is a huge something missing.

I would sit on the fence and say give it a try, but don't blame me if you felt like you wasted your time.

I enjoyed this series and must hand it to Sacha Baron Cohen, he did what I did not think possible and proved he is not typecast as a comical slapstick figure (Borat, Ali G etc.)

The acting was all round top notch. The plot honored the real life events as much as I know and the scenery and locations with great. I would recommend this series to anybody interested, but that is th ekey point, I think you would need to be interested and it is a detailed and accurate portrayal that needs concentration whilst viewing.

I was put off after a couple of episodes. It felt really insulting, but in that disguised and nasty way - not obvious but subtly depreciatory and belittling to the real people involved. The narrator was annoying.

I read the reviews before I wrote this and agree with the Cheese Rolling being the best episode. I can not believe anybody would give this 8, 9 or 10 stars. Perhaps the positive reviews came from family or friends with those involved?

The Cheese Rolling was fun and I would watch more of that. I must agree with another review I read and confirm it felt like a college video. A bit amateur. I found myself reading wikipedia to get info about this activity because the episode was useless in this respect.

Regarding episode 2, this was an opportunity to help chili eating be taken seriously and there was something very strange about the chili episode. It felt like it was all about promoting an American chili queen and did not focus enough on the actual winner called Dustin. Quite obvious this episode was all about America, Ed Currie and the new 'underdog' star of the whole episode the US chili queen much like an advert. Unfortunately there were only a handful of actual known chili eaters in this contest which made it lack validity. The show hyped up some people who were not very good at actually eating peppers and did not come close to winning.

I watched around 10 minutes of episode 3 and decided to stop watching any more of this series.
