Series Brief

Overview

Bee is a young lady trying to make her way in the world. She often acts before thinking, which can lead her into trouble (and adventure!). She also has a strong, nurturing personality, and doesn’t think twice about taking in Puppycat when he needs help. Although her laid-back-space-casey attitude and lack of skills tend to keep her from maintaining a job for long in the human world, she isn’t someone who easily gives up, and with the experiences she gains at the magical temp agency she stumbles on, she’ll finally have the chance to find out what she’s meant to do with her life.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

Bee and PuppyCat: Lazy in Space is widely celebrated as a charming, whimsical, and visually stunning transition from a niche YouTube cult classic to a Netflix series. Critics frequently describe the show as a comforting, relaxing viewing experience, praising its unique aesthetic, witty humor, and quirky character growth. While some viewers initially noted confusion regarding the series' structure—which functions as both a reboot and a sequel—it is generally regarded as a successful follow-up that manages to feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Despite the positive reception, some reviewers noted that the show’s slow, episodic pacing can occasionally test one's patience. There is also disagreement regarding its target audience; while many see it as a comforting, wholesome watch, some critics suggest the show's mature humor and thematic sensibilities make it better suited for teens than younger children.

“Bee and PuppyCat is the television equivalent of a wholesome, comforting meal.”

“Bee and Puppycat is better suited to teens than it is appropriate for kids.”

“It sticks to the source very well, giving a surreal experience as the YouTube series did.”

“Lazy in Space manages to become what every long-awaited follow-up to a beloved series wants to be: phenomenal and moving in its own right.”

Why fans love it

This 2022 animated comedy balances gentle slice-of-life moments with cosmic, interdimensional travel. The story follows Bee, an impulsive yet deeply nurturing young woman who struggles to hold down a traditional job in the human world. Her routine shifts completely when she takes in a mysterious creature named PuppyCat and stumbles onto a magical temp agency that sends her on surreal assignments across different dimensions.

Fans connect with how the series grounds its strange fantasy in recognizable young-adult struggles. Despite her spacey attitude and lack of conventional skills, Bee is a resilient hero who never gives up on figuring out what she is meant to do with her life. Supported by voice work from Allyn Rachel, the show turns odd jobs for interdimensional beings into a charming mix of absurd sci-fi and quiet comfort.
