Looks interesting/annoying. I'd like to find out more about how much they really think is true and how much is to get clicks/likes/money? But I think there's a fair chance we wont learn anything about that.

My frustration is that Theroux, ceased being impartial a long time. And went in to all his documentaries with an agenda. I also grow weary of his "ask loaded question, get lower iq person to self incriminate, whilst he dead pans" style.

I'm also amazed that despite spending weeks with Saville, making a documentary for the BBC, that he saw nothing that alarmed him to the point of considering phoning the Police. And yet all the revelations since Savilles demise have said he was prolific, everyone and their mate knew about him and his predilections an he did next to fk all to hide it as he was so blasé about getting caught...

Its ironic that even in those trailers the people are wondering if its just a hit piece. Which I would place a sportsman's bet it will be.


For every misogynist incel who adores everything Tate says. There's presumably a normal guy who took action, hit the gym, changed their diet, and became a better functioning member of society.

I doubt the latter will be mentioned.

Yes but the documentary isn't about the "normal guy" is it ?

I suppose that one question is to ask whether any such "good guys" take some of that good stuff from people like Tate but can see that lots/most of it is to be derided?

I’ll be having a watch over the next few days.

The paper reports that I’ve read don’t scream bias on this occasion.

Thanks for the bump,

had a lengthy conversation with my friends youngest boy on Friday. He’s 15. He’s a lovely boy and plays rugby and is in an mma school. The latter is probably due to bullying as a result of a stutter. We spoke about his first girlfriend break up. The detail he went into both fascinated and appalled.

The pressure young teens are under in this modern world with phones in most kids hands is something frightening. Listening to him describe the run up to two kids falling out I’m still days on trying to comprehend it.

The TLDR point is he’s trying to find his way in an abhorrent environment full of the disciples of the likes of Tate. The post above misses that it’s not grown men we’re talking about it’s impressionable young teenagers and there’s a significant number of them. The more shows like this one the better. It’s not endorsing the behaviour and and a fair few parents will get an eye opener to what their kids are being exposed too.
