Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space

I didn't really know what I was getting into when I saw Bee and Puppycat on Netflix. I've not heard of the show in any of its earlier iterations. I just saw the trailer and loved the vibe. I am so glad I did. This show is endlessly charming. The feeling I get watching it reminds me of playing Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. Every character is constructed with such care. I particularly love the story of Cardamon and their dog Sticky. The show dances between moments of humor, comedy, suspense, and melancholy so well. If you are looking for a comfy show to vibe to, it honestly doesn't get better than this.

Having discovered the web series on Channel Frederator way back when, I was extremely excited to learn the the continuation was coming to Netflix. Though when watching it, I realized it was part continuation and part retelling. There are some clips and references to the web series but with a fresh new take and new story. Netflix is known to give their content creators full range to make the show however they want, so seeing Natasha Allegri take full reigns on the show made it all the better. The animation is beautiful at times and fun/cute at others without it coming off too bubbly. With more episodes, it gave audiences time to explore the characters, the worlds and the possibilities of the show. The show doesn't take itself too seriously and knows its audiences. That's not to say it's all style and no substance. It's action packed but the action never takes away from the story, it's weird but not nonsensical and more importantly its never boring. This show has scenes beautifully animated, good visual gags, as well as good jobs and the voice acting is spot on. If I had any complaint, it would be sometimes we spend a tad long on certain side characters, but it never turned me off from the show. This has easily become my favorite show to come out of 2022.

Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space is the missing flavor Netflix needed in their catalog. Bee herself is fun and likable and has funny moments thoughout the series.

Puppycat is also amusing and also has funny moments. Most notably sending all of Bee's money on Pretty Patrick w/ a hilarious reaction from Bee.

The other characters are interesting enough to carrie their own scenes without the main duo. Plus their banter w/ one another carries the scenes there in quite well.

Netflix should renew this show for a second season because of how interesting everything is throughout it's first season run. Yeah.

Bee and Puppycat: Lazy in space or just Bee and Puppycat is an animated show featuring a cast of 20-ish-something young adults that is still IMO family friendly .

It is a chill mellow with an air of whimsy and mystery, as characters just trying to find their place in life and a bit of fishbowl space, and you also get to find clues about where they are and hints at what they are and have been.

It started out as a YouTube series funded by Frederator, and went threw a bit trouble finding a platform, it is now airing on Netflixs It has Sailor Moon, Steven Universe with a bit of Adventure time Vibes(which makes sense considering the Natasha Allegri work on Adventure Time(behind fiona and cake) and over the garden wall( co wrote on 3 episodes of otgw)) So if you like any of those shows, give it a try.

This show contains the absurd comedic chaos of adventure time with the pastel good-feel aesthetic of Steven universe. The first episode is a little weird if you haven't watched the original (free on YouTube, also highly recommend), but I hope that more people will give it a chance. I recommend this show as one that gave me a lot of joy, but also presented the difficult aspects of life in a relaxed, comforting and creative way. Each character has a background in hardship, some subtle and less explored, others undeniably heartbreaking, and the story doesn't really attempt to resolve these hardships (at least not this season) but there is an impicit attitude of acceptance in character interactions which makes the show sort of consoling. It is best to watch this show with relaxation in mind, as the plot is secondary to the atmosphere in my opinion. That's not to say the plot is uninteresting, as it is quite the opposite, and I am eager to hear the announcement of subsequent seasons to continue where it left off.

When I first watched this show, I thought it was Japanese because of the animation style and quality. In combination with the music and relaxed tone of the voice acting, the atmosphere of the show has no parallel. There are also so many cute and hilarious details that make a rewatch just as enjoyable. Overall, cannot recommend enough. This has become an absolute favourite of mine and I just can't get enough!
