Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 11/15/2017
2.5/5
He looks and acts - there is no polite way to say this - like a voyeur from central casting: an uptight geek obsessed with the seamy side of life, who uses his professional status as an excuse to stare hard and ask bluntly intrusive questions.

2/5
I made it to the end because I made myself make it to the end, but I'm still not convinced it was worth it. Go to Full Review Christopher Hooton Independent (UK) 10/12/2017
As ever, Louis has an uncanny ability to establish a rapport and seem humble and sympathetic even when he's asking the toughest questions. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 11/15/2017
4/5
Overall, Heroin Town is saddening, maddening stuff, potently personalised by Theroux's sincere curiosity and empathy for his subjects' awful plight. Go to Full Review Louis Wise Sunday Times (UK) 10/16/2017
The stories were heartbreaking and sensitively told, even if there is by now a wearying predictability about all this; about both Theroux's enterprise and the hopelessness of its subjects. Go to Full Review Peter Crawley Irish Times 10/13/2017
In this awful situation misery is like heroin: cheap, plentiful and easily available. [Louis] Theroux risks becoming addicted to the stuff. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
