Get comfy! A deadly Louis Theroux documentary is on the telly tonight

Settle in for the night.

Whether you’re feeling happy or sad, or angry that the weekend is almost over again then there’s no better cure than watching Louis Theroux.

Yep, if you fancy some Sunday night viewing, Louis will make his way back onto our screens tonight on RTÉ2 at 9.30pm.

And it’s one of his newer documentaries too, Dark States – Heroin Town. It only came out late last year, so if you missed if, it’s definitely one you need to catch up on.

It’s described by the BBC as: “In Huntington, West Virginia, Louis Theroux embeds himself in an Appalachian community that is being devastated and stretched to its limits by widespread heroin use. With one in ten babies in the city born dependent on opiates and a fatal overdose rate 13 times the national average, this is the epicentre of the most deadly drug epidemic in US history.

“Louis spends time with the user community caught in the vice-like grip of drug misuse and follows the emergency services struggling to cope with multiple overdoses each day.”

Get comfy people, you’re in for a good one.
