Louis Theroux's Altered States

But too much cheese.

This was a very cringeworthy episode. Everyone was putting a brave face on things, but Jerry in particular clearly hated the situation (talking in third person doesn’t help).
 
I laughed when he got excited about the idea of a threesome but then it cut to his wife shaking her head.
 
I finally caught up with the other two episodes. The assisted suicide one was very sad, as you would imagine. The man and woman who went around helping anyone kill themself came across as pretty weird and possibly evil. I know it's hard to tell from tv but that one woman who killed herself seemed like she could have had several more years of relatively good life if she just had someone to talk to.

The adoption one, I bet Louis was secretly happy they found a woman who was blatantly on drugs and scamming the adoptees to appear on the show. Felt kind of bad for the kid who met his birth mum who seemed to have disappeared again by the end of the show.
 
I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch them yet. Everytime I’m about to I watch DS9 instead because I know the assisted suicide one will be so grim and make me feel stuff.
 
Yeah I still kind of wish he'd talk to someone who believes in aliens again or something light just for once...



"You do like Michael J. Fox!"
 
I watched it tonight. Took quite the turn halfway through. The scene where Louis confronted Saif with all the allegations was pretty powerful. He definitely seemed pretty creepy. Maybe not fair to think someone's guiilty just because they seem creepy, but...
 
It was enjoyable but quite sad. I ended up feeling bad for the mother whose children keep leaving the church. She seemed really tired compared to the first two documentaries, like she knows that it's all bullshit by now (or that it's not worth losing her children over anyway) but has to stick with it because it's her whole life. The stuff about Fred Phelps apparently changing his views in his dying days was intersting, even if it was the result of dementia.
