The Black Cat

Leo was kind of my favorite of the children because he was the only one who wasn't an obvious sociopath, it made him stand out. But then they really lean in to giving him the least human-like dialogue of anyone, he just screams in every scene and it feels like no communication is going on between him and every one else. The effect feels very TV, very fake.

And while I get the idea is we're using Poe, and the cat, but a guy being taken out by a cat while screaming at everyone around him, unable to effectively deal with a mean cat and unable to stop taking drugs long enough to get through a coherent scene... I feel like there was a way to tell this smaller story in a way that would be smarter and had more humanity.

Not unenjoyable, but a little rough.
