Rewatching Bee and Puppycat made me realize something. This show is all about failure, specifically in the workplace.
Bee begins the show fired from her job, in a studio apartment, unsure what she wants to do in her life, taking temp jobs
Puppycat is scolded as a child that if he doesn’t learn to do *something* he’ll end up as a candy collector. Which he does, and fails to do that too when his relationship wrecks his life.
Violet was pulled down along with him. She can’t even live, she’s in a coma!
Deckard is flunking out of cooking school because he can’t bake (yet).
Cas was at the bottom of her boxing league, then forces herself to do software coding, which she doesn’t enjoy.
Toast has now been degraded to the bottom of the league, due to Cas leaving.
Crispin ran away to the circus, and it looks like he’s trying to make art now?
Howell can’t cook like Deckard, so he struggles to keep the cat café in business.
When Tim was flipping through his notebook, it’s revealed that Merlin did not graduate from medical school after all!
I think this show is trying to explain that failure is ok. Taking time for yourself is ok. Pursuing your passions doesn’t guarantee success. Sometimes we have to work jobs we’re good at, but don’t really like to pay the bills. Like Cas’s clock constantly reminds her, WORK OR STARVE! But we never despair for these characters. They find joy with each other. I also like that the show allows time between the chaos to showcase beautiful scenery, characters relaxing, eating yummy food. I’m excited to see more of the series, and where these characters failures take them next!

so this is probably obvious to everyone but me, but in case other people were also slow on the uptake
the Wizard family are named after wizards from existing stories
Merlin (duh)
Howell (of Moving Castle fame, though spelled differently)
Cas(taspella) (of She-Ra, including original 80s he-man lore! Bc obvi bapc predates the she ra reboot)
Wesley (according to the wiki, “Wesley Durgan, a boy given the gift of wizardry via a ring, from a book called "A Wizard Named Wesley.")
Deckard (according to the wiki, “Deckard Cain, an elder mage, from Diablo III.”)
Tim (according to the wiki, “Tim the Enchanter a pyromaniac wizard featured in many stories about King Arthur and his knights.”)
Crispin (according to the wiki, “Crispinophur a powerful wizard from the King's Quest franchise.”)
