Season 1 Review:
Velma’s suspense isn’t gripping on its own, but it doesn’t matter. The voice performances make the brief lulls worth it. The actors are clearly having a ball, with the warm chemistry between Kaling, Wu, Richardson, and Howerton shining through even though they don’t appear on screen. The supporting cast is equally charming.

Season 1 Review:
With a “zoinks” here and a “jeepers” there, “Velma” looks out for the grownups and crafts something new and, yes, groovy from the familiar. It also sets a template for retooling other aging properties to entertain everyone from Gen X to Millennials. (Looking right at you, “G.I. Joe,” "Snorks" and “Jem.”) Because what they’ve baked into these Scooby Snacks definitely needs to be shared.

Season 1 Review:
The dialogue can be racy for a show about teens, but the animation, and 40-year-olds voicing the roles, help mitigate the creepiness factor. ... Although the animated backdrops are sharper and more textured, the visuals here seem less aimed at wowing 2023 audiences than evoking the ’70s cartoon, which they do quite ably.

Season 1 Review:
“Velma” consists of too much “Why not?” and too little “Why?” ... More than that, these characters are just really unpleasant to spend time with, and it starts at the top with Velma, whose selfish and misanthropic tendencies aren’t diluted by her moments of vulnerability. Daphne isn’t much better. ... Absent even a wisp of genuine reverence for the source material. ... The biggest mystery of “Velma” is why it needs to exist.

I loved it! funny and fresh. A unique take on the characters and I’m excited to see how they bring it to the original scooby lore

Originally I gave this zero but I had to add a point because its begging you to watch it. I will watch it again to behold this generational monstrosity. Just being honest. Also its a reason to communicate with mankind, which I find difficult to do otherwise. Plus Im a big ScoobHead

True Scooby fans deserve better. The idea of an adult Scooby was exciting, but it turned out to be terribly pathetic. It's sad and depressing to see the hate and attitudes of the creators and (MAINLY) HBO who bought into this woke concept. It's ridiculous how bad this show is.

Did anyone ask for this? They completely changed the characters, where's Scooby? that was very unnecessary... And I ask myself again, did anyone ask for this?
