## History

### Creation (2019)

The original CEO of Nathan Network, Nathan Lei, wished to create Nathan Network's first ever TV show. He chose to create the show of his dreams, a reality documentary series about the last jungle in California.

Nathan Lei began to assemble a team of people capable of creating the series. Eventually he came across two people who proclaimed themselves as "jungle masters and researchers of the jungle", as well as one homeless man. Nathan Lei decided to send those people into the jungle and begin filming the show.

### Release & reception (2019-present)

The Last Jungle in California's first episode released on May 17th, 2019. It received very positive reviews from critics, with many critics praising the cinematography and atmosphere. However some critics disliked the people involved, saying that Martin King Jr. was a terrible pick for the show, since he's super cocky, lies a lot, and doesn't entirely know what he's talking about. Famous critic, Mr. Moogle, said this: "This show really makes you feel like your on an adventure, and with a higher budget, this could be something spectacular, but they still did a great job with what they had. I hate the cast though, absolutely horrible people in this show." Critics also didn't like how inconclusive the episode felt.

The series' second episode released on August 8th, 2019. It received very positive reviews, with many critics calling it better than the first episode, and more comprehensive. Despite being an improvement, it still had many flaws that the first episode had, such as characters, and an inconclusive ending.

## Story

### Episode 1

Martin King Jr. is a former FBI agent and jungle environmentalist, and the FBI asked him to go to the Willows for a case about what's in the Willows. Martin ended up bringing along his Homeless friend.

Homeless Man went there hoping to find some TV remotes and a jewelry box.

The show begins with a flashback of Martin King Jr, Homeless Man, and Nathan Burnio, entering the Willows. They cross to a seperate section of the willows, then suddenly, the land behind them eroded, and they get stuck on an island. We then cut back to present time.

The men try to use a long stick for a bridge, however due to the strong water current, the stick snaps and is unable to be used. The men also discover that the creek is pretty deep as well.

Martin's mom ends up calling for them, so they yell for her, to see if she can save them. However, they are unable to be heard.

Martin proceeds to go "sicko mode" and hops across the creek, risking his own life. However, fortunately he makes it. Homeless Man also ends up hopping the creek after being inspired by Martin's sicko mode jump.

The cameraman then proceeds to try to interview Martin, however the camera dies and the episode concludes.

### Episode 2

The episode begins with the men kicking a soccer ball, to practice their abilities to kick wild animals if they need to, Once ending the soccer game, they entered the willows.

They find a spot where the water is way down, and makes it easy to cross. They also discover that the creek that trapped them on the island is completely empty now. They find a Pepsi can, possibly meaning human activity. And they find a huge sinkhole.

They head directly into the full on jungle, and they feel a serene, cold mist. The men end up hearing branches crack, bushes rustling, and animal noises, the men get freaked out by this, however they continue on anyways. They also end up finding some hair on the ground, it's unknown whether it's animal hair or something else.

It begins getting harder and harder to breathe as the mist intensifies. We also learn that Martin's mom's house is just outside of the willows. And they also come across some small, red berries, or as Homeless Man calls them "really small tomatoes".

It turns out that a waterfall sighted in the willows long ago, is completely gone now. This information disappoints the men. They men end up making it to the middle of the willows, and they find mud like quicksand.

While the men would've liked to continue, they ended up having to return back as Nathan's eye got very swollen, and was sneezing from allergies.
