The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy

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.

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.

Even though it has some random humor, it is actually good with well done aesthetic animation and so colorful which it will give you Rick and Morty vibes. These two doctors, Sleach and Klak encounter serious situations in the medical field whether it is life threatening or risking their lives in jeopardy. There are some disturbing moments but of course, it's the medical industry so be expected of that, but the choices of color in the animation make it not so graphic and more pleasant to see, like torquoise liquid splattering all over if someone exploded or a birth disaster involving an interesting color of womb juice, the colors make it interesting to watch. The Characters are in aesthetic colors as well. I'm hoping this series would last at least a couple of more seasons because of some of the low star ratings for it, and only its first season and 8 episodes, we'll see if it does or not.

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.
