Why not make a new character and show that has a lesbian, black girl as the main protagonist? That would be the good and normal thing to do. But no, they just be lazy and rewrite and ruin an already existing character just to please the wokies. This show is highly racists to white ppl. It's just another woke piece of garbage made to please a community that doesn't know what's best for them and live in Denial. Velma just proves even more than anything else how much society has collapsed and on itself. This just shows that the creators of this monstrosity have been successfully brainwashed by the left and a result of a company who wants to ruin our childhoods. Don't watch this if you want to keep you sanity. Stop with this horrid indoctrination!!!!! Expand

I expected a garbage show with the most horrible jokes and a complete failure at representation and holy mother of Scooby-Doo's grave (Since they decided to delete him from existence), it is far worse than I EVER expected. Nothing about thisI expected a garbage show with the most horrible jokes and a complete failure at representation and holy mother of Scooby-Doo's grave (Since they decided to delete him from existence), it is far worse than I EVER expected. Nothing about this show is remotely close to getting me to feel any positive emotion or does anything even close to making these characters likeable in the slightest. You idiots were warned about your decisions from fans of the show and even the casual viewers of it yet you still went through with producing this botched, aimless trash heap as if you actually think you're doing something "unique". Piss off with the forced race switching, genuinely nobody asked for it in any alternate time line. Instead of writing entirely new characters, you modified these lovable characters who I personally grew up with absolutely adoring and just ruined them in all aspects, Shaggy isn't even close to his character before so at this point, just write in a new character and he could be black and nobody would care if you just bothered to write him into the story correctly. I miss Scooby, I miss Shaggy, I miss Daphne, I miss Fred, I even miss that stupid Scrappy-Doo dog cause even he was even written better than whatever this lame excuse of a show is meant to be.

Thanks for the laughs at you HBO, not this show as it's more boring than watching paint dry, you **** genuinely made me hate Scooby Doo now so thank **** all your garbage is still not in the UK.

The show is so bad that a lot of people think it was created to get viewers into „Hate watching“ to boost viewership and social media presence. Also it is a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo while you barley recognize the other characters. I would not recognize Velma, Shaggy (aka Norville) or Daphne. Fred I would recognize by looks but he is dumb down to incompetent moron. I feels so different that I would not be surprised if this was something completely different before they added the Scooby-Doo name. I loved the Scooby-Doo cartons as kid and have watched dozens of episodes. With this the show feels like an insult in comparison. To be fair the animations are good and the voice actors deliver their roles. I would not hold a bad script against a voice actor or actor. The script and changes are the main source of the problems. Do not pull out the misogyny or racist defense as this is not the case. We nerds like strong female leads like Ellen Ripley, Buffy, the original Velma, Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh and many more. Diversity is neither a problem. I like Peter Grant, Rozie Oshodie, Michelle Yeoh and many other characters. A bad show is just a bad show. Look at “House of Dragons” for comparison how they silenced the critics with awesome characters, a great story and a huge entertainment value. Overall I have to give a 0/10 which pains me for a Scooby-Doo show but there was no other choice. Expand

I have read fanfiction written by young teens that are better than this mess. This would have been better as an original series, but the fact it latched onto the SD IP, I cannot take the insult they brought to the characters.

Second, the jokes aren't even funny. It's an adult cartoon, but they make fun of adults who watch cartoons. Who is your target audience? Why make fun of the people you want to watch the show? The meta jokes are so overused to a point it's cringey and unbearable. There are also racist and sexist jokes, not cool, at all.

Third, the characters have been outright assassinated. These aren't the characters we grew up with. No one cares if you change the race of the characters, but you cannot change their personality! Velma has been depicted as Asian in Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins! And she has also been depicted as Hispanic in Scoob! The reason it worked in those is because they kept her in character, as well as everyone else. Fred was treated the worst out of the bunch, it's a whole sexist and racist joke they keep going with. At least Scooby was spared from making an appearance.

Also, it's just weird to have an adult show where the characters are teenagers. It doesn't sit right.

It's a shame because the animation is good! But that alone doesn't save this series. I cannot rate this higher than I did because of the quality of the animation. The animation is just looks. I've seen animations that have lower quality animation but have great a great story where I'll still watch it.

In short, do not even bother hate-watch this series. It is not worth your time. Go watch the regular Scooby Doo series. Any Scooby Doo series. It doesn't matter. They're all better than this.

This show is nothing like the lighthearted comedy of old. Avoid like the Covid.

Velma is painfully unfunny with poor writing, hateful "jokes" and pure disdain for it's viewers. Characters that have no resemblance to source material in any way other than being dressed similar just shows that this show would never have been made with out the Scooby-Doo clout and it never should have been made period.... What a waste of animators time and talent for this steaming pile of sick. Expand

I came to read people defending this tripe. They did not dissapoint.
The show, imagine something cynical like rick and morty but all the characters are Rick Prime... with no other character to balance out the show. That's how bad it is.

A series for those who hate Scooby-Doo (as well as detectives and good humor). The authors pile on tons of cringe.
And believe me, this is far from a case of "so bad it's even good". More than anything, this show resembles an adaptation of a fanfic written by a 14-year-old schoolgirl.
There is no: interesting plot, atmosphere or funny jokes.

But a separate mention must be made of the characters, they just took and twisted the characters we have known since 1969. And I'm not talking about the change of skin color and sexual orientation (very strange decisions), but about the characters themselves: Velma is no longer a smart girl detective, she became very rude and unpleasant, Daphne is a drug dealer, Fred became a hysterical freak, and Shaggy - well, he's just a piece of garbage.

I think Charlie Grandy, the writers and Mindy Kaling should be cancelled for this.

If you changed the color palette and the design of the character, they would be irreconcilable if you compared them to their classic counterparts. Without that, it would be just another irrelevant & forgettable "adult show" that thinks adding vulgarity and foulness makes it "mature", it actually makes it childish. Also, the characters are not "meta" or "self aware" as the writers think, they are just doing cheap lamp-shading, trying to disguise it's terrible writing. The "humor" is not clever nor has a funny punch line, it's just repetitive pop culture reference and small penis mentions (not even jokes, just mentioning Fred has a small penis) which is disgusting body shaming. And finally, they make Vilma and Shaggy black to use it as an excuse to blame any criticism on racism, that card is getting old REALLY fast. This show doesn't have ANY redeemable qualities, is an insult to the audience's intelligence and the legacy of Scooby-Doo, thank God Scooby-Doo isn't a character on this, they would had also massacred that character too. Don't give this show your attention or even rage watch, bad media dies by been irrelevant and not paying attention to it. Expand

You can see how disconnected critics are from reality when they give this piece of garbage reviews like 83/100. Even 50/100 is way too much.

None of the jokes stick, none of the characters have a flushed out enough personality to be interesting, and the only character traits that are there are just them being mean and insensitive towards each other for the sake of pointless drama. It's as if it's written to be this bad. The character that has shown the most character growth is someone who's literally there for gags about being a minimum wage worker and getting pregnant. All judgmental jokes.

I've yet to see a redeeming factor of this show

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With all the reviews out there on this show, it's obviously trash and worth no one's time. The reviews of the show are more entertaining and stimulating than the show itself. I'm perfectly content never seeking out this show to watch it, because it's worth no one's time.

When the reviews and critiques are better than the show itself, you know there's a problem.

They made a show basically crapping on the audience who loved the original Scooby Doo. It's a weird, hate-filled show made by minorities trying to be funny but failing so badly that they are rejected by even the minorities.

Even Dragon Ball Evolutions was better than this. That's saying something.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 4/10 because we need a new take on the old show. But... Velma suffers from not only bad writing but, well, Velma is a horrible human being and nothing like the original:

- Velma is abusive. She insults and manipulates those around her including her supposed love interests/best friends.

- Constantly considers everyone else less than her for their race, gender, and appearance.

- She insulted Norville and Gigi by saying he's only with her because she's easy.

- She literally beat Daphne, her former friend, with a crowbar and wishes she had hit her harder so she died.

- She also breaks into Fred's house, constantly body shames him for things beyond his control, never apologizes for falsely accusing him which led to him being humiliated and shot, and then tells him she finds him revolting after he becomes a feminist.

- She twerks (!) over his mother's corpse while Norville is throwing up his guts over the fact he just killed someone and she doesn't think twice to go and help him.

- She also accused, without evidence mind you, Norville's dad of being the killer and didn't even apologize to either one of them.

- She locks out her father, stepmother, and newborn half-sister out of their own home just so she can have it with her mom, who never really cared about her and why would she?

Velma is a terrible human being. And I get the feeling that the anim studio is not honest with the public on how unpopular creating such horrible characters is, if the original character was, well, literally the opposite. I am sure if would have caused less drama if Velma was some unknown new IP nobody cares about afterwards.
