Social media crawled out of its infancy and started running along the path to become the societal behemoth it is today. Of course, you won't need to love cats (why don't you though?) or have a cat to care about Bee, but considering my cat was purring next to me during my viewing experience, it certainly helps.2013 was a time, an epoch, an indelible moment in humanity. There's a quietly powerful moment when Bee walks past her old job, and is torn between her desire to see the new kittens and her fears and anxieties about running into the man who fired her. She enjoys it because it distracts her - 'I don't like looking at the ocean, it makes me think about stuff,' Bee reveals, and truer words have rarely been spoken.

As a cat dad to two lovely old ladies (Gloria and Jolene, thanks for asking) who also would much rather watch TV than anything else, I could very much relate to Bee's impulses and characteristics. The show helps you root for her from the first moment, as she's fired from her job at the cat café after covering for her friend Deckard. She's happiest around cats and simply wants to hang out at home, be lazy and watch television. In a world where things feel increasingly impossible, the show manages to make things feel like everything is gonna be okay.īee is a wonderful character that I want to protect at all costs. When I watched 'Bee and Pupp圜at,' my problems didn't feel so overwhelming for once. The show takes these challenges and places them in a warm, relaxing embrace. It may be off-putting to some, but I found the relaxed pacing of the show refreshing, and everything simply feels lived in.

Newcomers will likely be surprised by the pace of 'Bee and Pupp圜at,' which is considerably more calming and slower than you may expect from the typical animated fare.

The series stays true to everything that makes the web series special while expanding the universe to some fantastic new locations and heartwarming new characters. I'm thrilled to say that the second season, as well as the lovely three remixed episodes, are excellent. The show has quite a cult following, and there was even a comic book adaptation that ran from 2014 to 2016. So, to quickly summarize: the first three episodes are essentially the season 1 remix, while the next 13 episodes are brand spanking new 'Bee and Pupp圜at.'

You actually don't need to go hunting for the first season on YouTube (though you should, it's great), as the first three of Netflix's 16 episodes are actually a remade version of the entire first season. It's been an awfully long wait for more 'Bee and Pupp圜at,' but the wait is finally over, as the show's eagerly awaited second season has been picked up by Netflix. The original web pilot aired all the way back in 2013 before a Kickstarter funded a first season which wrapped in 2016. If all of this sounds strangely familiar, that's because it is - 'Bee and Pupp圜at' has actually been around for nearly a decade. Because each of the worlds the duo travels to is visually distinct, it keeps things invigorating. It doesn't stagnate, even in its slower, more contemplative moments. The unique temp-work structure allows the structure of the show to feel familiar and surprising at the same time. Odd is the key word here - the quests vary wildly from having to take down a vicious spider-like woman to opening a giant soda can as the inhabitants of the planet's fingers are too small to open it. Instead, the pair travel to different planets to complete odd jobs. These temp jobs may sound like a bore, but these are no simple cleaning tasks or food delivery gigs. You see, Pupp圜at can transport to alternate dimensions, taking Bee to visit Tempbot, an epic being that looks like a large screen with a little smiley face, who is capable of delegating all sorts of temp jobs to Bee in the almighty quest for any semblance of financial security. It's about to get weirder - Bee's quest for work isn't fruitful, but thanks to Pupp圜at her fortunes are about to change.
