Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy Season 2 earns its 8/10 woke score by deliberately normalizing they/them pronouns, non-binary identities, and polyamorous queer relationships as the default in its alien future. Skip it if you want story over forced messaging.

Detailed Analysis
The series centers on alien surgeons Dr. Sleech (Stephanie Hsu) and Dr. Klak (Keke Palmer) in an adult animated sci-fi comedy, but its world-building deliberately normalizes non-binary identities, they/them pronouns, and a spectrum of queer relationships as the default in a 'utopic future.' Creator Cirocco Dunlap, who assembled an all-female and LGBTQ+ writers' room, explicitly designed the show around her own queer family background to reflect 'every body type' and relationships 'two people or with 20 people in hivemind,' stating it was 'entirely by design' as a rejection of binary norms.
Dr. Azel (Sam Smith), a recurring genderless/genderqueer character using they/them pronouns without fanfare, features in Klak's on-again/off-again romance and a season 2 first date subplot; Klak herself is portrayed as queer with female love interests.
Key Factors
- Creator-stated intent to build a 'queer utopia' with gender fluidity and non-binary norms as foundational world-building
- Casual they/them pronouns and genderless alien characters (e.g., Dr. Azel) integrated into main character arcs and relationships
- All-LGBTQ+ writers' room and voice cast choices foregrounding spectrum sexuality and poly/hivemind dynamics as normal
- Season 2 episodes featuring tentacle/body issues, first dates, and pleasure hive content layered onto identity themes alongside anxiety and corporate satire
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
