The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy

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.

I love the fast paced randomness which matches everyday hospital life. The scenarios and conditions change but the writers are consistent in their call back to relatable emotions and relationships. Those "human" relationships are what keep real people sustained who work in healthcare. You see crazy things, deal with unimaginable horrors, and bizarre circumstances and only the people that work with you stay the same and can relate. The main characters ambition and questionable ethics are almost too realistic. People in healthcare need this as an expression of their stories. Please don't cancel.

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.

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.

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.
