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.

When you see reviews about a TV Show, usually there are two extremes. One side loves the show for its biases, and the other hates it. This is a rare occasion where the general audience opinion comes together and the majority is united in agreeing that this show is truly the lowest tier in almost every way possible.

Poorly written dialogues, inconsistent animation, and some of the saddest attempts at humor since Transylmania.

This show is only capable of satisfying a tiny group of people, which consists of the writers and kids with an underdeveloped sense of life that is solely based on Social Media. This show proves that we truly do need a 0 rating in IMDB, a new low in modern media.

This show HATES its audience. It should not have been named Velma. Even the dubbing is odd. Glenn Howerton basically plays Dennis from IASIP as usual but in Fred's body. Daphne is crass, mean and vulgar and Velma is Mindy Kailing.

I don't understand why this is what we get when attempting something adult with the Scooby Doo IP. No one asked for this. The hate is warranted - it's an acceptable, albeit unfunny animation show that thinks it's a lot better than it is.

This was my main issue with the first two episodes: you can tell the writer's room was comprised of mostly "yes" people who thought every idea was edgy and current. Instead the finished product resulted in a convoluted, mean-spirited and just all around embarrassing start.

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.

This show is one of the worst things I've ever seen, and I would give it 0 stars if I could. I can't believe how poorly written this show is, how mean-spirited it is and how much contempt it has for its source material. It's not like it resonates with people because of the themes of teamwork, or found family, or about how different people with different personalities and goals and outlooks on life can be friends and love each other.

No, we have to character assassinate everyone, especially Fred and have everyone talk in petty, tired and divisive cliches. There's no word for it other than cringe. I am so sick and tired of these types of shows. At least they're keeping Scooby himself out of his this garbage.

Off to palette cleanse with the original show.
