Jinkies! Velma got an Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies

Yeah. Meanspirited is a good word for it. I went in hoping it would be better than the reviews. That is what struck me… like mean-ness was a substitute for edginess. I feel like that’s the go-to of bad comedy. Instead of witty subversive commentary they just make fun of people - either making the characters mean or making the characters the butt of jokes for no real reason. None of the characters felt like-able to me. Especially the lead characters.

I did only watch one episode… maybe it could get better? But dang. That first one was so painful I could barely finish it.
