Patrulha Médica

A fun and extremely dumb comedy show in the genre of airplane/naked gun type humor and parody. Sometimes a bit too serious for its own good, but it has some great visual gags and two very funny leads. Plus John Hamm shows up as a water slide enthusiast doctor for plot reasons. How can you not love that?

This is absurdist comedy. It Is meant to be ridiculously stupid to the point of laughter, just like Children's Hospital (which is rated a 7.8 currently and is the basis for this spin off) and NTSF:SD:SUV (which is rated a 7.3 currently and is a parody of every cop serial but especially the ones that use acronyms, as the show actually means " (National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport Utility Vehicle" which is hilarious on its own).

Obviously we are all different and have different tastes but this show isn't a 4/10. I believe the problem is that it airs on Netflix, while those other shows did not and were niche shows that are marketed towards a select audience of people who know those shows exist and know that they are short ten minute episodes airing at midnight on the Adult Swim Network.

With Netflix being what it is and attracting a global audience, they've increased the episode run time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes and the worldwide viewers only include a fraction of people who actually enjoy these absurdist parody shows, hence the low rating. it this aired on Adult Swim, then it would have hit it's target market squarely on the nose and been rated at least a 7/10.

One of the things i really like is the persistent stupidity. it's in every scene and even the plot is stupid as hell. i like it.

If you like absurd comedies such as Childrens Hospital and particularly NTSF:SD:SUV like me, you should give a chance to this. Because it is actually a combination of those series. And that's why I enjoyed it.

Still, it's far from perfect because some action scenes are way more serious than they are supposed to be, especially the fights. It really contradicts with the surreal tone of the comedy. Also, travelling almost the whole world throughout the first reason was unnecessarily confusing for me. They should limit the places of the story in the second season.

Sure it's not as funny as Childrens Hospital. It's still delightfully absurd & ridiculous. Not every episode is a hit but I at least laughed once per episode. It's rare that I laugh at loud at comedies anymore but this is so dumb it did the trick.
