Having been a fan of Louis Theroux's documentaries for years, I was waiting for this one.
I felt like it was less smart and less edgy than most of Louis' earlier work.
Felt kinda strange also to have Louis travel all over the world right after saying (for example) "He lives in Budapest" -> boom, he's over there.
But mostly, I felt like Louis looked tired of doing what some people call "his freak-show". He didn't seem very enthusiastic and/or interested in his subjects.
In his documentary series, the main protagonist is actually the presenter. In this case, Louis became very early on the "normal people's view" on the situations he puts himself in. This time, I didn't feel that connection.
But I guess after so many years, it's normal. Can't blame him.
