I watched a couple of episodes and thought it was essentially a one joke show. Also after working with "Houso" types of clients while its pretty true to life, after a while the dysfunction stops being funny and just ends up pathetic.

My cousin used to work with the Maori guy in Housos. he's apparently getting paid as an actor to be himself. 8)

yes I watched this in 2010 season 2 is currently screening in the US. The first series was brilliant, the second series has been a little slower but still good,. I can't believe it hasn't found a place on free to air, I think Australian audiences can be a little conservative at times we only seem to see cop or hospital shows.

watching Sons of Anachy again with daughter, just finished season 2!!
I've just started watching Season 2 myself, seems apart from sport and Simpsons all I've watched over the past couple of weeks has been Sons of Anarchy.

I've been enjoying it, by the end of tomorrow I should have Season 2 completed, once I am finished with SOA, I may have to get onto Boardwalk Empire.

I'm up to episode 10 of season 2 and have to admit it's becoming a bit of a chore. If it doesn't give me something in these last 3 episodes I'm not sure I'll bother with season 3.

Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends. Excellent. :)

Louie Theroux in general! I can't figure him out, is he a troll or just incredibly naive?

Troll, mainly, but he's nice about it. Kind of like John Safran, I guess.

I just watched the "swingers party" episode. :o

You still got two seasons to go.

Last episode of three is the best, I've watched about five times!

I'm a bit disappointed with this series. The previous series where he was in prisons, interviewing white supremacists, going to brothels etc were captivating shows. These one's don't seem to be as challenging.
