Bee & Puppycat: Lazy in Space (2022)
Bee in puppy cat lazy in space
Now I must admit I do feel bad for rating this show so low but there definitely was sadly a fall from grace but despite this I think this is still a passion project made with love.
So first let's go over what I like, the world building and new characters is very nice that with the new episode count we can take our focus off of the main story and focus on the other people. But sadly this is the most consistently good the show gets.
Now not saying this show is bad it has high points but the large issues I have are voice acting,script,production,characters,plot changes.
Now let's start with the first one, the voice acting itself is not bad but the way the audio is so choppy is strange and it makes them sounds unnatural like the conversation stops every time a characters sentence. This can lead into my next issue with the script, the script is definitely a fall from grace, in the original show the conversations had great flow and it sounded natural that's something the show took pride in and it was applauded for the way they could make characters sound like there having and actual conversations but in this version of the show it's so stiff it sounds like the writers where told to make it sound like there normal people talking but instead of how it used to be they basically make observations and than it goes no where or somebody says something back and the conversation ends the forceful story telling us so strange this season also this show used to have a mysterious show that was light hearted and fun but still had a lot of lore and mystery but in this version it seems like there trying to spell everything out for us in the first few episodes because they decided they wanted to do something else with the story Wich completely ruins the whole build of season 1.
The third issue is the production of this show obviously look a major loss of quality, the art style is almost always dramatized cartoony because it's cheaper and easier to draw . Now this itself wouldn't be bad if it wasn't for the use of this style in this show every time they use this style it looks silly so they can't have serious talk so they always try to force in an unnatural joke in so that they have a reason to use it, mind you the jokes this season are not that good. I can understand why theese changes happened because the episode count is obviously much larger than a lot of shows but this does not change the fact the quality of this is not that good.
The characters this season are ok at best most the time deckard charecter is wasted for the most part and it goes from deckard being a main character to Deckard whole family including him being a single main Character this is main issue I have with characters though because there mostly the same characters just with worse scripting.
The finale and largest issue I have is the plot changes, by this I'm referring too how the plot constantly changes. They seem like they don't know what kind of story they want to be Wich isn't the issue itself because this first season was constantly changing plot it was just fun random adventures with back story's being hinted at. In this season though it seems like they really want to be story driven though. But the difference with this is that it doesn't fit the original story of the show they seem like they struggle to tell the story of puppycat and bee at a larger aspect, and while they try to tell those stories it puts the main goofy fun adventure of the day and makes that background side story.
Overall I hate to say it but I don't think this was a good second season I think there was a huge fall in production for the story a change in what they wanted to do with the show and everything else I listed I hope that they can get another season to possibly help it recover from this but would I say it's even close to the original...Not at all sadly Wich is why it's really sad to see this happen to the show and I feel like this wasn't worth the wait.
