There are far better documentaries and shows on North Korea - you can easily find them on lists related to films/episodes on the country.
A couple of times within this documentary, the undercover reporter asks a few questions that should not be asked in the country. This shows a massive disrespect and ignorance on his behalf. It is disrespectful towards the guides who are always the ones to get the brunt of any bad action from tourist. The poor guide is the one who will get punished, not the tourist. The reporter does not seem to think of this, for example, when he asks a guide to ask the doctor at a hospital to stop fooling all the tourists and actually show them some patients or when he suggests that North Korea could have started conflict.
There is no real history about the country and it just seems a bit too sensationalised - all a bit on the surface level too. Feel free to watch it for images of the country if you take a true interest, but this is nothing special and in fact just plain ignorant.
