Theroux’s subjects are well chosen, and he builds their portraits with his usual intelligence and patience

Few dead horses have been more flogged, but if you stretch your mind back enough, it is possible to remember a series with a fantastic premise that kept us guessing for 12 whole episodes. The question: had returning war hero Sgt Brody been radicalised in a foreign jail cell? CIA officer Carrie Mathison thought so, but she had plenty of problems of her own. I still think it would have been better if he'd detonated at the denouement. Twisty, compelling, briefly essential.

Look forward to this show in Oz.

Sex is for procreation only for God's people so it only makes sense that those who understand truth would find problems with making a profession out of some sacred and holy.

That's not what the participants say. Thoroux's team took advantage of vulnerable ppl, with condescending pitying judgemental looks throught.

This is the decade of no good interainment left o. This earth to see ore here on TV raido and this telephone and deasaster. Of ungoley ness now is all it is and continues if ide Ben rong it stop

I recently took a beautiful woman home as I thought my luck had changed. She said 'If we move this to the bedroom it'll be £50'. I said 'I thought the bedroom tax was only for those in Social Housing!'

Love your Docs Louis but nobody gives a shite about sex right now - How about a weapons doc ?

It’s possible Theroux was editorialising to suit his own argument You think?
