Do you remember _The naked gun_ movies? _Spy hard_? _Hot shots_? How about _Men in tights_, or _Spaceballs_? _Monty Python's Life of Brian_? All of them are absurd humor comedies, a genre that encompasses many of the most hilarious movies / books / shows, including some occasional masterpieces, such as some of the _Discworld_ books, or the unsurpassable _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ (the books - the movie was ok, but nowhere near Douglas Adams' brilliance). Anyway... With _Medical police_, they went down the same path of absurd humor. Yay! But sadly, they only achieved the absurd part. The humor, not so much. They tried, but it didn't work, at least for me. Most episodes don't have more than a couple of laughs in them; some (such as the pilot), not even that. It's still worth a watch... if you don't have anything else to do. The first season is only 4 hours long, and the episodes are short enough too. At least they got that right! I found out afterwards that this is a spin-off of another show called _Childrens Hospital_, with all the same cast. I didn't watch it, but according to IMDb, it was much better and lasted for 7 seasons. I doubt there will be a second one of _Medical police_, though. The idea isn't bad, and the cast is pretty good, but they lack the most important thing you can ask of a comedy show: to be funny.

Its amazing how bad a show can be with good actors. The sad part is, that this could have been good if they had just tuned down the slapstick about 80%.

You know those shows within shows that are supposed to be a joke and really absurd? Like the stuff playing in the background of Rick and Morty with improv'd lines, or something in Family Guy? This show is what happens when you turn that into a full live-action TV series. It's okay for a few laughs if you're watching it with others.

A modern take on movies like The Naked Gun, and the show that inspired them (Police Squad). I really enjoyed this, it’s mindless comedy with stupid wordplays and slapstick humor. Definitely not for everyone, but if you feel like turning off your brain for a second, and just want to laugh, definitely give this one a try.
