Documentary of Documental S1E2 - English Sub

Documentary of Documental Season 1 Episode 2 - "Season 0"

The second and final episode of this season. It shows the "phantom" (pilot) season of Documental. This is where it all began.

My proofreader couldn't find the time to go over this episode, but I have done my best to make sure it's in decent shape. The episode is in a pretty good state, so I didn't want to delay uploading it.

If you guys see any errors or issues, let me know either by commenting or by sending me a DM. 

I am going to continue working on the "Stroll To See Celebrities" series, then I will see where to go from there.

Thanks for watching, and thanks for the support!
