    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Velma' has mixed reactions, with criticisms of poor writing, unlikable characters, and a departure from original Scooby-Doo charm. Humor is often deemed unfunny, and social commentary is seen as heavy-handed. Animation quality is praised, and some appreciate modernization attempts. However, many feel it fails to capture the original essence. Voice acting, especially Mindy Kaling's Velma, is criticized as uninspired. A minority enjoys the show's unique take and humor.

    Should be on a top 10 worst tv shows of all time list

    This was atrocious. I watched the entire first episode and did not laugh once. Not even a chuckle. The jokes were so juvenile, so heavy handed and the premise so far removed from the original IP, it was embarrasing. I was checking my watch throughout the episode. They made 27 minutes feel like an hour. Will she ever find her mom? I do not know, nor do I care. Why is this series about sex and what does any of the random sexual situations have to do with Scooby Doo? I also don't know, nor care. Speaking of which, where is Scooby and Shaggy? Shouldn't they be a part of this too? If the one kid is supposed to be Shaggy, I only assume because of his clothes, then I would like nothing to do with this alternate universe version of Scooby Doo. Personally, I feel like HBO and Mindy Kaling owe everyone and apology for this abomination of a series.

    Worse than people say

    I heard how bad this was so had to see for myself.

    I was expecting to be laughing at how atrocious it was but it's not even bad enough to laugh at, like some terrible shows and movies. This was just so bad it was hard to believe what I was watching. My mouth was open in astonishment at how revolting it was.

    How the hell did this get made? It's abysmal on every level. It's not even a train wreck. A train is on it's way performing its duty before it crashes. This train never left the construction yard. Shame the idea did.

    The jokes aren't funny. It's not cool. It's not hip. It's the opposite. It's majorly offensive. Offensive for two reasons.

    One for how terrible it is and it is really bottom of the barrel terrible, and two for it's obvious sexism and racism. What an absolute insult, really, to anyone with half a shred of respectability. I'm just staggered that this even exists.

    And to have it based on a CHILDREN'S decades long loved series is just mind blowing. It's wrong.

    Shame on the execs who passed this giant steaming turd. Every single person involved with green lighting and creating this 'show' deserves to never work again.

    One of the worst programs ever made. Without exaggeration.

    It's a disgrace

    It needs to be canceled Immediately and whoever approved this needs be fired it isn't funny It's cringe and offensive it has nothing to do with Scooby-Doo and it is destroying any versions of the velma character it is way to snarky and I don't see how anyone can find it entertaining what is wrong with HBO I'm tempted to cancel my subscription because I don't want to associate myself with people who put out crap like this I hope it backfires and blows up in your face also whoever finds this show entertaining needs to check their own morals Please do better Warner Brothes and put out better shows like Johnny Bravo.

    Absolutely garbage in every sense

    This show literally insults you. I've never known a show to actively try and make you hate it, this is abominable and one of the worst things I've ever seen, I can't stand it. It feels like a straight up slap in the face and I cannot stress this enough, it doesn't even have SCOOBY-DOO in it, what in the everloving God? I have no clue how this got greenlit and the okay from the higher-ups because I'd rather get hemorrhoids than watch anymore of this. It's mentally tiring and I've never sighed from disappointment more than I have while watching this poor excuse for a show... Cancel this, please.

    "Comedy" tag needs to be removed

    They need to remove the comedy tag. Seriously, in no way shape or form could this be considered a comedy.

    Imagine taking a kids show and turning it into a disgusting college frat house drama where everyone is a bully and vomiting for laughs. This might be the most hate filled re-interpretation of a cartoon I've ever seen.

    The people who created this show obviously have an agenda here. Are they really going for 100% rage views? Is destroying an established franchise going to get them into some secret Hollywood club? Do the creators have some kind of personal vendetta against Scooby-Doo from their childhood? I really don't get it.
