#CouchWorthy: Welcome to Earth

Posted on December 7, 2021September 25, 2023 By Sammy Younan No Comments on #CouchWorthy: Welcome to Earth

Welcome to Earth: Limited Series (Anytime / Disney+) – We need a name for this genre where a famous actor explores the hidden wonders of Earth. Prime examples include Down to Earth with Zac Efron (new season coming in 2022), Well Done with Sebastian Maniscalco (Season 2 is currently airing), Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round (with rumours of a second season) and now Will Smith’s Welcome to Earth (is it really named after his line in Independence Day??).

As revealed during Disney+ Day Welcome follows Will Smith as he “Focuses” on remote and uncharted places. On Earth.

The six-part limited series is less a Pursuit of Happyness and more like a Bright Shark Tale. From volcanoes to deep sea adventures Will Smith “Hitches” his wagon to elite explorers who behold all the Collateral Beauty our world has to offer.

It sounds dangerous like he’s joined a Suicide Squad but it’s inspiring.

Because after all a Lakeview Terrace is a terrible way to see The Secret Life of Bees. The Human Contract demands we explore our world because we’re all connected with barely Six Degrees of Separation.

So explore the Earth (our glorious Earth!) with Will Smith before it’s too late; because environmentally a time is coming we can only term as After Earth.
