Louis Theroux returns to the United States to explore the impact of the internet and social media on some of the most controversial corners of American society. Traveling throughout the country, Louis meets an assortment of content creators: young and inflammatory far-right streamers, rap stars who share their chaotic and violent lives with their online fans, and porn performers who earn a living via online subscription services using their power to call out the behaviors of alleged industry predators.

4/5
