Summary
Reviewers say 'The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy' presents a fresh sci-fi medical drama with a focus on mental health. The animation and world-building are lauded, yet humor quality divides opinions. Voice acting is generally praised, though some find it lacking. Pacing and storytelling receive mixed feedback, with some appreciating randomness and others seeking more coherence. The space hospital setting offers a novel twist on familiar themes, but execution varies among reviewers.
Featured reviews
It lacks . . . soul?
There's a lot of stuff going on at any given 15 second interval and there's considerable creativity and attention to details, but overall, it just doesn't work.
I'm forcing myself to watch it basically, and I don't know why.
Overall has a vibe of a female med student's self-insert power fantasy that, imo, very few people are likely to resonate with.
Basically if Dr. House was split into two young females, neither of them very likable.
All the character flaws/weaknesses seem superficial and don't have much effect on anything really.
The whole setting also doesn't communicate that there is really anything at stake. Like at one moment all of them might die and I just cannot summon an ounce of Fs to give.
I wish it was better, but it is what it is.

My New Favorite Show
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.

Too much too soon
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.

Not perfect but its good
The show is very very horny and some of the storylines definitely needed a bit more time in the oven
The main characters are likeable but their arcs seem a bit all over the place
The show tackles anxiety and workplace sexual relationships and the stress of day to day life as an alien doc
The jokes are very hit and miss but the characters are decently likeable especially the bird bro
I definitely feel like the continuity of the plot lines with the worm guys a bit weird with his later moment kinda contradicting his previous actions
The shows at least worth watching 2 episodes but i finished the whole series at once because i enjoyed it enough to watch it while paying full attention but not enough to savour it over a week or so of one episode a day
Its a doc show like house or greys but its aliens.

A successor to Tuca and Bertie?
This series focuses on two main female scientists, Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak, operating on all manner of surreal experiments and sci-fi nonsense.
This series as a whole reminds me a lot of Tuca and Bertie, down the similar dynamics between the more hedonistic Sleech and the more neurotic Klak. Klak in particular is very relatable to me, as the series explores her anxiety nd turbulent relationships with her loved ones because of it.
The animation is fine. Not groundbreaking, gets the job done. The humor can occasionally be funny, but the series is more interested in being a drama, in spite of all the wacky sci-fi things going on.
Overall I recommend it.
