Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends
In the 19th century Alexis de Tocqueville journeyed to America and thought he had the young nation figured out. But Tocqueville never tried out for a porno film. In this documentary series, English-raised Louis Theroux (son of novelist Paul) samples the strangest fruits of freedom, from pitching infomercials to breaking bread with right-wing survivalists. This sort of participational filmmaking can become cute or self-satisfied, but Theroux maintains a curious, never smug attitude, even toward the most bizarre colonists.
