Scooby Doo in the ghetto, I've never seen that before. It's very funny to see how companies bring back legendary things and ruin them.

This show gets everything wrong. Bad writing, horrible comedy. Trying to be edgy and crass when it doesnt work. All of the characters are uncharacteristically bad, its like they never seen Scooby Doo. This is a slap in the face to all Scooby fans

Animation quality is poor, they cut Scooby entirely, tone of the show is all wrong, weirdly political for a show that's supposed to be about teenagers solving mysteries with their talking great dane.

Ok, normally I'll take time to break down objective critiques when I give a movie or show this low a rating. Velma doesn't even deserve that from me.

They took the best parts of Scooby-Doo. Cut them out. Changed all the characters. Introduced foul language and sexual tension between all the characters.

Acabaram com os personagens em busca de uma representatividade forçada, se ao menos os personagens tivessem sua essência, mas não, é apenas para criar uma pauta lacradora

If you can manage not to get offended, all of the extremely over-the-top woke comedy is laughable. Think Sharknado, but instead, it's Wokenado. So bad it's good.
