The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy

I usually enjoy Bob's Burger, Disenchantment, Futurama, South Park, The Boondocks, The Simpsons, and Solar Opposites. I'm sharing what Adult Animations I like so you can decide if you want to read my review or not based on my usual taste of these types of shows.

I have been obsessed with Natasha Lyonne for years and enjoy how the main character she voice acts for has the same crazy hair as her (probably overlooked by some people.) You can tell she voices other characters but I don't mind because she could probably play the entire cast and I would be down.

If you're curious on why it's called the second best it is because of the illegeal practices they do at their hospital which makes makes it second best because they do get the job done just not by the book.

Anyways I don't care too often on adult animations but I really enjoyed this one but as I said up top I love Natasha and I'm going to add Keke Palmer.

I can see how some of the reviews took it as "men are bad or dumb" I don't really know how since Dr. Klak likes other women, the other Dr. Sleech has commitment issues, and the Chief Surgeon is a male who is dedicated to his job. There is one male character named Matt who can come off as dumb at first but the more you watch the show the more you can tell he just isn't some idiot who stocks vending machines, he has more layers to his character.

If you ever experienced having a best friend in your early 20's that you use to do a lot of dumb stuff with, hurt each others feelings at some point, and just had some of your formative years together this show can easily be for you.

From witty humor to amazing character designs I really enjoyed this show. It ticked all the boxes I was looking for. There's very relatable jokes and obvious shared quirks that only multi-year friendships would obtain.

I see a lot of people saying it's misandrist? To address this, It's truly not. There are no jokes about men in a negative manner, this show's humor balances on the outlandish possibilities of far future hospital technology and practices. It had plenty of source material to joke about and world build with, so much so that it didn't need to rely on low blows. If you're going into it afraid it'll hit at men, I promise it does not.

The premise is as unique as a sci-fi show can hope to be, centering on issues that are known to us today. Such as anxiety, relationship issues, strained familial and coworker relationships. All of this within the context of limitless possibilities, creates recognizable problems with unachievable solutions and hilarious consequences.

I played this show on a whim. I'm glad I did.

The animation and storytelling match well with one another. It takes abstract sci-fi fantasy humor to broach serious topics like emotional intelligence, personal relationships, sexuality, etc. Plus, there's a lot of heart throughout the whole show.

The pacing is great. Never a dull moment. It's graphic in gore content (hard to have a show about a hospital & not be honest in that respect).

The cast is awesome! There's a LOT of SNL alumni, plus Keke Palmer, Keiran Culkin, Sam Smith, & Natasha Lyonne, which brings a wide variety of personalities that makes everything fit in this crazily relatable eye candy universe.

The premise of the show is fine, there's some fun animation and voice acting, but the storytelling jumps the gun. There is so much new information in every scene that the show has to spend most of the runtime on exposition and ends up rushing to and often past the point. The viewer is never given the space to anchor any plot points because the rules of the world are never given room to breathe. The reason shows like this fail is not the arbitrary plot devices (every plot by definition is made up), it's the total lack of dramatic irony so the suspension of disbelief is never achieved. We don't know who knows what, what does what when. It's all ad-hoc and inconsequential. It's slop.

A better way to onboard the audience would have imho been to start this series with the characters in med school or as interns. We could have gotten all the relationship melodrama/backstory and learned with the characters and learned from how they navigate the world.

This show seems to operate from the sadly growing worldview where questioning is a deliberate act of hostility instead of a valid attempt to learn.

I would be interested to see if a second season could actually have any introspection if it wasn't also speed running through the lore.

I think this is way better than Rick and Morty, and I love Rick and Morty.

This show is a science fantasy LSD trip with fantastic three dimensional characters, relatable friendships and relationships alike, and over the top diversity that actually makes sense for an alien centric show.

I love Sleech and Klak and their friendship, and I love Plowp's personality and I find him so relatable. The portayal of Klak's relationship with her mom is done so well it really hits home.

I couldn't stop myself from binge watching this show. If you like Solar Opposites, Rick and Morty, or adult animation in general, then you'll like this show for sure. Unless of course, you're a misogynist or a homophobe. Btw, there's no mention of anything misandrist in the show. That's a straight up lie to review bomb this. And the voice acting is fantastic, a great professional cast is behind these characters.
