Louis Theroux Interviews...

Louis Theroux has spent time filming some pretty terrible people, but in this series he gives us six softball interviews with endearing celebrities. Sometimes one feels the lack of challenge: with Judi Dench or Bear Grylls, for example, he is reverent and respectful and doesn't really expose anything unexpected. But in other places the approach works: Yungblud (not someone I knew of previously) comes across in a surprisingly sympathetic way after being given space to express himself, while it's interesting to see how Rita Ora switches between a ruthless work-mode and softer self, even though one senses there's a level of performance in both personae. Overall, it's amiable viewing, even if only occasionally insightful.
