In this episode Tia talks about a man who (no surprise here) is quite literally...a voyeur who spent years spying on people in his motel from a hiding place above their rooms and boy oh boy what a story it is. Journalist Gay Talese is enlisted to write a story and a book on the man and his...fetish but along the way there's some problems. Besides, of course, the fact that he's been watching people without their consent. If you're looking for another talk-out-loud-at-the-TV-and-go-WTF type doc, this episode is for you.
