Top 10 Must-See Theroux Documentaries Firstly, if anyone is unfamiliar with Louis Theroux, I suggest you YouTube search some of these documentaries now and watch them. Right now. Secondly, this list is purely subjective, but I’ve tried to rank them in terms of how interesting I found them, how little about the subject I knew before I watched them, and also entertainment and sensationalism value. Louis Theroux is an award-winning, British-American TV journalist, renowned for his ‘Gonzo’ style of journalism – (a subjective style which is told in the first person, with Louis as the “main character”). He became well known in the early 90’s through various newspaper and magazine articles and eventually, in 1998, he landed his first TV show, ‘Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends’. In these shows he went and spent time with various, (mostly) American, lesser-known subcultures and set out to “discover the genuinely odd in the most ordinary setting”. He later went on to film 2 more seasons, including ‘When Louis met…’ – in which he spends time with some eccentric figures from Britain, as well as filming various specials all the way up to the present year. Here are my top 10 Louis Theroux documentaries with short clips from each.
