Sean L. McCarthy Decider 06/02/2021
Jay offers real talk without having to belabor you with new rules or any explanation. Go to Full Review
Angelica Guarino Common Sense Media 06/02/2021
4/5
In PAUSE, there's no desk, no studio, and no preconceived notions; it's at once totally accessible but not trying to cater to the widest audience possible. Go to Full Review
Ian Carlos Campbell The Verge 05/21/2021
It has hangout podcasts in its DNA, but it's also out to reinvent a decades-old late-night format. Go to Full Review

prawnda s 06/16/2022 i hesitate to say this since there is such a negative stereotype of black people being loud, but the people on this show genuinely need to lower their voice about 50 decibels. it's not that there isn't some decent content here, it's that i literally think i've damaged my ears by watching two episodes. you do not need to shout to get your point across, especially to an audience that is already watching your content in their homes. this entirely aside, there are some highly questionable political stances being espoused in this show and i don't feel that many of the opinions being discussed are constructive or helpful to african american politics.

For "whatever" reason 🙄🤷🏾‍♀️🙄 See more 07/01/2021 From a political standpoint this is HBO's worst I think. I would definitely put way behind Problem Areas with Wyatt, probably John Olly (even though he's went off the rails a bit, and miles behind Bill. Kind of ultra in a bad way.
