Reviews
Odd but sweet investigation production
This is an odd but sweet investigation, costume production with really good actors.Sadly, the premise of the story doesn’t really work for me. It’s odd for a human to run around sniffing cat hair and investigating murder. If FL was a cat-fairy or -deity, it might have worked better.
The love story is also odd, going from 0 to 100 in a split second.
Other than that, it’s a nice watch.
