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
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.
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 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.

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.

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.
