Jon Ronson is a longtime favorite journalist of mine. His depth of reasearch and and his ability to put a story together are unmatched, in my opinion. But in this series, all his positive attributes are undercut by relentlessly intrusive sound design. I don't remember the music being used quite so heavily in the first season, but I wish they'd held back a bit this time...it's highly distracting to have it there constantly. That said, the journalism is first-rate.
