Why You Should Watch Louis Theroux's Inside The Manosphere

Once you are Inside The Manosphere, a 90-minutes Netflix documentary produced by Louis Theroux, you question how to get out of there. The 55-year-old British-American filmmaker-journalist-author who is widely known ignorant-ingenue approach to social issues including interviewing neo-nazis, religious extremists dives into the world of incel culture - a subject that has been topical for some years now.

The face of manosphere being Andrew Tate and the likes, there's no end to "understanding" and listening to men tell you why they are blatantly misogynistic, oppose feminism and can't stand subscribing to blue pill ideologies. So, if you are man who believes in empowerment of women, they'll refute and brainwash you into believing it threatens male dominance. But what does Louis Theroux show us in his first film Inside The Mansophere that dropped on March 11?

With unrestricted access into the world of ultra masculine-network, the documentarian reveals the male influencers' approach to fitness, relationships, self-improvement, and business. The appeal lies in the way they ideate thoughts, values and attitudes for young men. These are the men, you'd think ordinary. But peddle dogy investment schemes to teenage boys about making money and landing hot women who will be monogamous with you despite your liberty to sleep with a few others. Afterall, it is highly profitable to be a dick on the internet.

In an interview with Wired, the broadcaster shared that the new documentary "combines cultlike groupings, misogyny, adult content, creation of pornographic content, and obviously racism. All these taboo areas of life that I've spent my TV work documenting in different forms come together in the manosphere.”

However, unlike the 2025 Netflix award-winning show Adolescence that dives straight into the consequences of being part of the toxic groupism, Louis Theroux's documentary takes a step back to show you the symptoms of being in the manosphere: attention-seeking extremists who come and go in whack-a-mole fashion.

The 90 minutes juggle between who the subject matter of the documentary really is. Theroux being a semi celebrity himself becomes the subject of the content that the male influencers create while he is documenting them. The documentarian goes on one’s hateful podcast and is livestreamed by others. He then, in turn, incorporates their content about him back into his content about them.

Inside the Manosphere also goes deep with other such figures. Theroux speaks with Amrou Fudl a.k.a. Myron Gaines, who hosts a woman-hating podcast called Fresh and Fit; Justin Waller, a wealth influencer who spreads the gospel of “one-sided monogamy”; and Sneako, who’s actually left the red-pill business behind for conspiracy theories and religion.

And that's all that you need to know about the Netflix documentary and why you should watch it.
