From the creators of the Emmy award winning Adult Swim series Childrens Hospital comes the shows’ Netflix spinoff, Medical Police.
The new 10 episode comedy stars Childrens Hospital alumni Rob Huebel and Erinn Hayes as doctors who also happen to be cops. They also managed to get Jason Schwartzman away from Wes Anderson long enough for a supporting role.
From the inimitable team behind Childrens Hospital, Medical Police follows two American physicians (Erinn Hayes and Rob Huebel) stationed at a pediatric hospital in São Paulo, Brazil who unwittingly discover a civilization-threatening virus. They’re soon recruited as secret government agents and find themselves in a race against time to find a cure, all the while uncovering a dark conspiracy at the center of the outbreak. Building on the legacy of its predecessor Childrens Hospital, Medical Police triples as an action-packed thriller, a mystery-wrapped love story and, ultimately, a globetrotting comedy series.
Childrens Hospital was a hit for Adult Swim and ran for seven seasons and this new series seems more of the same.
It kind of feels like one of Homer Simpson’s rejected ideas after he finished pitching nuts and gum, don’t you think?
This show’s concept is a bit over the top and one of those things you’re either going to love or hate, so something like this kind of has to be your thing.
Medical Police starts streaming on Netflix January 10.
