I've watched a lot of nature documentaries, but I'm definitely not a purist for the documentary format or for Attenborough's narration style. I'd absolutely love it if they made Snoop Dogg's Plizzanet Earth into a full documentary/comedy series. Round Earth is nothing like Plizzanet Earth. Round Earth is neither a comedy or a documentary because it fails at both of those genres.
As a documentary, if you've already seen Planet Earth, this show doesn't have any new shots or information for you. It literally uses the same footage, but only half of it, and maybe 10% of the information, so definitely don't go into this expecting a documentary.
As a comedy, it's far from the mockumentary that I was hoping for. I expected something similar to Plizzanet Earth, but it turned out to be a series of bad jokes read while the footage plays in the background. I only watched episode 1, but I only laughed once or twice in the whole episode, and the rest of the episode was so unfunny that it cancelled out any actual humor.
