A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Neive Bellamy
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I was skeptical at first, because I didn't understand the format. I was glad when it evolved into something more varied. I have to say that I adore Russel Brand for his wit and intelligence. I love how he brings in people with hateful views and then has a discussion with them to try to mellow our their hatred, but also doesn't shy for calling them on where their reasoning is idiotic, and in an eloquent and glib way that isn't actually disrespectful. The fact that he brings homeless people into his show is very touching to me. I always think about how cool it must be for the guy to be on TV. It doesn't solve their problems, it's just a cool experience that the world has probably largely denied them. And it makes you realize that such people exist - not only the ex-homeless, but the currently homeless, with an unpleasant predicament, and they are people like you and me. Most of all, this show is funny and made me laugh so hard that I cried on a few occasions. I really hope that it stays on air.

Who's idea was it to give this idiot an hour of live TV?...Who ever it is should be fired asap! Russell Brand is a Plato wannabe, he thinks he's so intellectual, clever, smart...and some people get wow by his crap.Well he doesn't fool me, because the only thing he does is repeating the same crap we all know by now. An another thing, if you're going to have guest in your show, let them speak for God sakes! I watched the show because a friend of mine is a big fan of him and she was supposedly to be on the show...what a waste of time! I waste an hour of my life watching this idiot! because she never made it to the studio, because the address on their website was wrong! It doesn't get more crappy! than this! oh wait it might! PS I gave him one stars because there's no 0 stars!

Being an old guy (73) I suspect that this is not my demographic, but I love vulgarity and this had a great deal of that.I also like Legit and Archer, which are part of FX's vulgarity segment.I have said what I have to say in a cogent and concise manner, yet IMDb' rules require me to pad this.If what you have to say can be said in twenty works, why be forced to use two hundred.Let me say again and again, being forced to pad this review is silly and counterproductive. Isn't it enough to know that and old guy (I will avoid using my favorite term for that since it it vulgar (hint: its initials are O.F.)

I'm a fan of Russell's past work. I think ponderland is one of the funniest TV shows of all time, he was unhinged in BBBM and his radio shows were comedy genius.I was expecting he'd deliver something at the same level with Brand X, however the show fails miserably. It's just not funny, too much of the corporate tag on it. It feels to me like Brand hasn't exerted his own zany style on the show and instead has conformed to what the network wants. I'm very disappointed.If Russell ever reads this here's a message: you've lost your mojo man, don't tow the line with the corporate moneymakers, come back to the UK and try and recapture that zest you had from 10 years ago.
