Easily one of the worst adaptations of an iconic piece of media ever conceived. It's filled with mean spirited "humor" and a meandering story that goes absolutely nowhere and that the show is happy to forget for two thirds of each episode toEasily one of the worst adaptations of an iconic piece of media ever conceived. It's filled with mean spirited "humor" and a meandering story that goes absolutely nowhere and that the show is happy to forget for two thirds of each episode to mimic only the worst of Family Guy's cutaway gags. It fails on every level except one, it has decent but dime-a-dozen visuals that look extremely familiar to anyone that watches mediocre adult animation. I've heard that a second season is on the way, and I sincerely can't imagine why.… Expand

Yay! Reverse racism, reverse sexism, and general upper-left SJW agendas being forced down the throat of everyone who watches it!

this show blew chunks, mean spirited, racist, no fun and criminally bad for how they treated legacy characters.

It's too woke for the younger audience because it has a bad remix of the original Scooby-Doo. I recommend never watch this garbage and go watch the original Scooby-Doo.

I thought rings of power was bad, this show set a new level of bad... there is absolutely zero redeeming quality to this show. Shaggy and his father are annoying simps, Velma is in every facet of the word, UNLIKEABLE. Fred has a tiny penisI thought rings of power was bad, this show set a new level of bad... there is absolutely zero redeeming quality to this show. Shaggy and his father are annoying simps, Velma is in every facet of the word, UNLIKEABLE. Fred has a tiny penis and everyone seems to know it. Daphne, I dunno she's just there. Scooby? Nowhere to be found. Mindy Kaling, seems to be full on, "woe is me" while at the same time trashing white people at every turn, which would be fine... if any of the jokes were funny.

I wasn't high enough to tolerate the show past the first few episodes, if you did, more power to you.… Expand

Worst acting. Worst voice acting. Worst everything, in general. I'd rather watch paint dry than go and watch anymore of this TV show.

Everything you learned from the Scooby-Doo crew is completely forgotten, the panic attacks are just a cheap way to create a polt, and they still managed to fail that. Every character uses their dicks instead of their brains, even the femalesEverything you learned from the Scooby-Doo crew is completely forgotten, the panic attacks are just a cheap way to create a polt, and they still managed to fail that. Every character uses their dicks instead of their brains, even the females ones and I'm suspecting the Writers to have done the same. Every single joke is either overdone, or unfunny, or sexual.
Clearly, the animators weren't paid enough.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awful awful awful. As a Scooby fan, this was a real kick in the teeth. But that’s how it was designed. Wasn’t it? A troll show. I don’t understand how advertisers think hate watchers are going to buy their products (The only reason they’re making season 2. Right?. They’re not. I’m not. In fact, I have a chip on my shoulder against anyone who funded this trash heap. This is not Scooby Doo. This is not Velma. “Norville” is not Shaggy. The political message is beyond trite. Makes progressives look like fools. I watched two episodes of this and had to stop bc I was screaming. Mindy Kaling is always going to be “that annoying fool who screwed up Scooby” to me. There’s no back-pedaling from this. I am actively not purchasing anything being sold by HBO “The Max” Warner Brothers if I can help it. And it’s all bc of Kaling and this steaming pile of a cartoon. Tip: “Don’t take shots at your audience!”
The contempt these writers have for cartoon viewers is disgusting. As a writer, I know how thin the line is. But they want to think they’re better than us? And that we all live in Mommy’s basement? Don’t worry, Kaling, WB, I’ll remember this! And do will many others.

Will hate watchers on S1 translate over to S2?
I don’t think so. I couldn’t make it past episode 2. It seems like the only ones who could were YouTubers. I really hope this isn’t where entertainment is headed—a world where content is made terribly on purpose to cause a flood of reaction videos. And as someone who made two reaction videos too Velma, I now regret it.

And I haven’t even touched on how disgusting and creepy the show’s “humor” is…

What is this fascination w sexualizing teens in media lately? There’s a nude locker room scene in the first episode. They’re supposed to be in high school!

Greenlit season 2? No, WB. NO.

Gotta work that algorithm, tho’. Rite?… Expand
