Louis Theroux Interviews...

Louis is renowned for tackling extremely challenging, emotive and provocative subjects, often using his dry wit, perceived innocence and curious charm to be accepted into obscure corners of society, teasing out honesty and trust in a way that only he could, and offering unique insights into ways of life most viewers could never imagine. Yet in this series, he is essentially taking the place of any old tv presenter, interviewing a standard mix of fairly ordinary famous people. Not to say he isn't good at it, but it's not really what I go to Louis Theroux for - he is selling himself short here and certainly seems to have lost his sense of ambition and adventure, which is fair enough; perhaps he feels he's done his time... each to his own - but not very compelling to watch.
