Known for his unique, immersive journalistic approach, Louis Theroux has fearlessly tackled subjects ranging from wrestling until he vomits to posing for adult photos. Now, he’s set to delve into the manosphere for Netflix. This retrospective celebrates the interviewer’s most compelling and often jaw-dropping shows.
Almost three decades have passed since Louis Theroux began crafting documentaries for the BBC. Few could have predicted that the endearingly quirky figure, who launched his career with “Weird Weekends” – a series where he unflinchingly immersed himself in bizarre American subcultures – would evolve into a public personality as renowned as many of his celebrity subjects. With nearly 100 BBC titles to his name, Theroux is now transitioning to Netflix. His inaugural program for the streaming giant, “Inside the Manosphere,” promises to explore the men’s rights movement and contemporary masculinity in the highly connected digital age. Ahead of its release on March 11, we highlight 20 of Theroux’s most exceptional documentaries to date.
