"With nearly 100 BBC titles under his belt, Theroux is now moving over to Netflix. Inside the Manosphere, the first programme he has presented for the streamer, dives into the world of the men's rights movement, and explorations of masculinity, in the extremely online era."
"A fascinating dive into a world of people preparing for the worst-case scenarios of societal collapse. Theroux gets drunk and sleeps at the house of an environmentalist living in an underground bunker, shoots guns with heavily armed rightwing patriots and learns about the plans of an Aryan Nation church."
"Before Clifford was convicted of indecent assault, Theroux hitched along with the celebrity publicist to explore the dark art of tabloid spin. Clifford doesn't play ball, setting Theroux up for salacious red-top stories by inviting him to a meeting at a lapdancing club, only for the presenter to find himself in the pages of the Sun."
Louis Theroux has established himself as a prominent documentary filmmaker over nearly three decades with the BBC, evolving from an unconventional figure in Weird Weekends to a celebrated public personality. With approximately 100 BBC productions, Theroux is now partnering with Netflix for new content. His debut Netflix series, Inside the Manosphere, examines the men's rights movement and contemporary masculinity in digital spaces, premiering March 11. The article highlights his most significant documentaries, including explorations of survivalist communities preparing for societal collapse, featuring encounters with environmentalists, armed patriots, and extremist groups, as well as his early work documenting celebrity publicist Max Clifford and his viral rap documentary that later inspired his 2022 hit song.
