Among the Sex Offenders 9.30pm October 14 – First on Foxtel Louis spends time in the twilight world of the city's paroled sex offenders, whose crimes have made them pariahs living on the fringes of society, in a state that has some of the toughest regulations in America on controlling sex offenders. City of Dogs 9.30pm October 15 – First on Foxtel Los Angeles is home to more than a quarter of a million dogs, from the pampered pooches of Beverley Hills to the pit bull terriers of the projects.
