Dont miss Louis Theroux tonight 9pm BBC2HD
 

Louis is drawn to difficult subjects that offer challenges for a film-maker, but his innocent (or seemingly innocent), polite approach gets people to open up.

This week is a good example: he’s talking to LA’s so-called “two-nineties”: paroled sex offenders, who have committed deeply disturbing crimes. Under Californian law, after release from prison they must continue under virtual house arrest, with a GPS monitor on their ankles, strict limits on where they can go and a curfew.

They’re sad, remorseful figures, leading a twilight existence as pariahs on the edge of society, but often articulate. Diffident Louis (“If you don’t mind my asking...”) has some painful conversations.
