What to Know

Critics Consensus

Jinkies! This radical reworking of the beloved Mystery Team has plenty of attitude and style, but it doesn't have the first clue for how to turn its clever subversion into engaging fun.

Velma: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Heather Hogan Autostraddle Every episode is a cringy, eye-rolling slog that doesn’t seem to have any idea who its audience is, yet seems to despise them all the same. Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Velma: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Shirley Li The Atlantic Its edginess comes at the expense of its own characters and punishes the audience for being invested. Like a certain Mystery Inc. member rummaging around in the dark for her glasses, the series is unfocused, confused, and desperately lost. Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Velma: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The 25-minute episodes are a suitable delivery vehicle for the humour, but across a season it has a lot of work to do to function as a cohesive whole. Rated: 3/5 Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Velma: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joe Reid Primetimer ...it's frustrating to watch the show nervously wink at its audience, assuring them that what they're watching is smarter than the IP-mining trend that birthed it. It would be a better series if it could just calm down. Aug 6, 2023 Full Review Velma: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice It’s an empty shell of a farce that’s not clever or engrossing. Just gross. How Kaling thought she could get away with a remake minus the sleuthing, silliness, ghouls and “meddling kids” that made it a joy really is a mystery.

Connor M Not faithful to the original Scooby Doo franchise. Humour is very bad, animation is top quality, uninteresting plot and it should never exist. This humour might work in something else that isn't a rip off of any beloved franchises, but that's a huge maybe as it is so obnoxiously bad. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Patrik K I really liked this take on classic scooby doo, more modern, funny and interesting. Beautiful animation. I dont understand why people hate it so much. The plot was entertaining as well. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Zombie T If I could I'd rate it a 0/5, I give every show a chance and always with a open mindset but this was terrible in every way. Ig the animation was pretty decent, my only positive. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Wink D This was so awful I cannot believe I watched it all and it's getting a second season. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Jerdel D Complete garbage. Why is there a need to change th8ngs up for the worse? Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Audience Member só chatice nessa série, horrível, toda hora é uma piadinha sobre raça, sexualidade e sexo, e fica nesse loop a série inteira, além dos furos no roteiro que não tem sentido nenhum Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
