BBC Two - Louis Theroux's LA Stories, Among the Sex Offenders

 

[tim]

Jesus, I think my original thread title from years ago applies well to the latest episode. Quite terrifying.

 

[nooleen]

can you watch bbc iplayer programs from ireland?

 

[chris d]

Yep, download Hola Better Internet from Chrome/Firefox and you are a click away.

 

[shower another shower]

tough watching indeed. Cancer sucks.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Loved the both of them so far. Cancer is shit but it most definitely made me glad to be alive and not have cancer of the perineum/arsehole like that poor fucker.

Only downside is that I've had to revise my "Please turn my life support off and don't let me a vegetable" after seeing that dude waking up and walking after 37 days.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Also, DogMan.

And those fucking hipsters. Irish and UK hipsters should watch those two and just give up.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

"Please turn my life support off and don't let me a vegetable"

Yeah, I have appended 'after 38 days' on to mine now.

From Facebook:

"For fans in the UK, we're very pleased to announce that Louis' new series begins on Sunday 22nd March at 9pm on BBC Two!

In 'By Reason of Insanity', Louis immerses himself in the world of Ohio’s State Psychiatric Hospitals, meeting patients who have committed crimes - at times horrifically violent - while in the grip of severe mental illness.

They have been found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity and court ordered to maximum security psychiatric facilities to receive treatment it is hoped will one day lead to their reintegration back into society.

Over the course of these two films Louis explores the nature of mental illness. He spends time with the small subsection of sufferers who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and bears witness to the extremes of the human condition and experience in an attempt to understand how society cares for some of its most vulnerable and most dangerous members.

We hope you'll be tuning in.

- Rach from Louis' office"

Anyone been watching the "By Reason of Insantiy" two parter that aired last night and the week before? Really tough watching in parts

Also Next Sunday is Transgender Kids, which I'm really looking forward to.

 

[chris d]

The wannabe preacher guy that was released from the hospital in the first episode, he really seemed too fragile to be left so unsupervised. His mother wasn't exactly a rock either.

Good episodes. Poor sods.

 

[jonah]

Yeah, it was the guy in the second episode that had attacked his mom that really got to me. Such sad stories man. I don't know how Louis does it.

[7 - No tomorrow]

They got the IRS to heel

They don't fuck around

 

[therealjohnny]

What do they hope to achieve though? It's just petty revenge

They like to get people where they live. It discourages others.

Or that's my take on it anyway.

I didn't even know he was making this doc. It's said to be feature lenght with a possible cinema release.
