    Velma es una serie que me deja con sentimientos encontrados. Parto de la base que de que la calificación que le fue brindada no es demasiado justa. La mayoría de la gente vio el tráiler de la serie y ya sabia de los cambios que se hacían. Tiene de todo, un popurri de elementos que representan a la saciedad de hoy en día y que a la vez se burla de ellos.

    No obstante, es una serie que recibió muchísimo pero muchísimo review bombing. Yo soy partidario de que si vas a ver una película o serie con mala gana y con el pensamiento de que no te va a gustar, no te va a gustar.    … Expand

    nah it's not as bad as everyone is saying. There is some funny parts, but I mean it is a very left leaning cartoon but it isn't as bad as people are saying. I don't know exactly who this cartoon is for, maybe like a teenager. It's just ok but it isn't the worse thing I've seen.

    I get its meant to be a parody, but it could have been better, it definitely is not as bad as most make it out to be though thats for sure.

    Honestly I don’t understand the intense backlash to this how. It’s not as good as Harley Quinn and has a few less than rad jokes, but it’s overall very enjoyable and pretty funny. My guess is people feel the need to be extremely critical of women of color and that’s why white men can play the same character over and over, but Mindy Khaling gets insane hate for it.

Crits of her potential transphobia and problematic takes in the real world, valid, but this show is at least fine.… Expand

    Velma is an often funny take on the classic Scooby-Doo series with plenty of risqué humor. But it’s unfortunate that most of what makes Velma funny is completely unrelated to the character who gets a starring role.

    The real problem with Velma isn’t that its updates make Euphoria look like child’s play; it’s that its edginess comes at the expense of its own characters and punishes the audience for being invested.

    The show actually is misogynist, and totally devoid of nuance. ... Velma’s mistakes might be forgivable if it was at least funny. But it’s not. And so, we’re left with a show that makes no one laugh and makes everyone mad, and doesn’t even have a great theme song.
