Velma

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.

I'll preface this review by saying I have no problems with adult humor, or with a family friendly franchise being reimagined to include such. Nor am I outraged by the diverse casting. I approached Velma with an open mind, and it's just not good.

Like another HBO Max show, Harley Quinn, Velma is full of edgy and fourth wall breaking humor. Unlike that show, Velma seemingly holds nothing but contempt for its source material. Not one character behaves anything like you'd expect, and none of them are enjoyable to watch. Daphne is vapid and mean, Fred is a rich douchebag, and Shaggy is a bore. Velma herself comes across as Mindy Kaling's self-insert Scooby Doo fanfic character. She is the coolest, smartest, and funniest person in the room at any given time and multiple characters want to have sex with her. Everyone else is a loser. It's more sad than it is funny.

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.

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.

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.
