    Each episode is brilliant, well worth the money. It's filmed in a very honest and intelligent way - Louis is superb at his job.

    Louis can interview people to an extent that no one else can as he can push peoples boundrys to get some simply brilliant answers. His best yet is when he goes to America to talk to modern Nazi. That single episode infuriated me but also made me roll on the floor laughing at some of the answers he managed to squeeze out the Nazis. Buy the series now and do yourself the justice.

    this is so under-rated, Theroux is hands down the best journalist out there. he challenges peoples beliefs to breaking point and always gets his answer. Louis and the Nazis is probably the best piece of TV I have ever watched.

    I only downloaded The Nazis and Michale Jackson episodes as I've seen the others, the Nazis one is great but not his best, however I did think the quality of the picture on my HDTV wasn't great, bit blurry, not sure how old the recording is, but shame this wasn't of better quality!

    Louis Theroux is by a distance my favourite interviewer, and his incredible series looks at some amusing, bemusing, and downright disturbing material. You have to see these brilliant documentaries!
  • Great documentary series, misleading iTunes ad!

    Two things to say about this: it's a great series - not as light as his Weird Weekend series, which is superior, in my opinion. Seems like Louis' trying to make the transition to Serious Journalist with this batch of documentaries, but still good viewing. On another note, I must say that the iTunes graphic that led me to this page was a little bit misleading. It said, Louis Theroux: Interview with Michael Jackson. I know Apple have been restrained in profiting from Michael Jackson's death (they haven't pushed his records beyond a tasteful '1958 to 2009' graphic), but the whole point of the Louis Theroux special, 'Louis and Michael', is that he doesn't get to interview him! So, it's not really an interview with Michael Jackson. Could be a mistake! But it's misleading. Otherwise, the show is great.

    I love Louis, he never judges people and always handles each situation on it's own merits. Really brings out the best of the people in his documentaries. Buy all, now! I just hope the BBC put more up soon!
  • Brilliant everytime

    Fantastic documentaries, Louis makes you look at things in ways that you wouldn't usually do, and he asks the questions that we all want to know the answer too. Well worth watching and owning!
  • Absolutely Brilliant!

    Louis Theroux is probably the best TV interviewer I have ever seen. He gets right in to the core of what these people believe in or do, and in doing so gives us a very clear insight into these people, often from incredibly bizarre walks of life. Funny, brilliant, intelligent and all-round genius!
  • Pure genius
