Season 1 Reviews
indieWire
Proma Khosla
Velma is doing a lot -- possibly too much -- but there are emotional beats and comedic gags that do land amid a saturated creative canvas, including arcs for the future Mysteries, Inc gang that combine existing backstory with eclectic Velma flourishes.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
What they've baked into these Scooby Snacks definitely needs to be shared.
Black Nerd Problems
Omar Holmon
Honestly, the show could have been a lot better.

I don't understand the backlash, this is both hilarious and in the same cadence as NEVER HAVE I EVER. To me, a Meta and Diverse SCOOBY-DOO comedic reboot makes more sense than an Archie comics RIVERDALE. It's called evolution, people. Zoinks and Jinkies!
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Jokes become exhausting in the meta, not-for-kids Scooby Doo prequel.
Huffington Post
Candice Frederick
Teen and genre lore is so seeped into each line of dialogue in "Velma" that it's impossible not to enjoy it in spite of its shortcoming.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Sporadically witty but ultimately rather tedious, the HBO Max comedy leverages more than a half-century of name equity to yield an animated prequel that's definitely not for kids, meddling or otherwise.
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
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.
Variety
Joshua Alston
It's been done before, and much better, using unique takes on the gang that maintained their essence, so Velma is never as groundbreaking as it seems to think it is. More than that, these characters are just really unpleasant to spend time with.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
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.
Slate
Nadira Goffe
Velma's attempts at modernizing the franchise are so inept, they've given rise to conspiracy theories that Kaling intentionally made Velma bad as fodder for an ongoing culture war in which people would beef about it incessantly online.
Pajiba
Jen Maravegias
Velma is unpleasant. It replaced all of the wacky yet loveable hijinks of the original IP with a complicated mess whose only nod to fans is a pile of dusty easter eggs hidden in Velma's closet.
Double Toasted
Korey Coleman
Velma is constantly pointing out how clever it is to be self-referential. At some point, the show isn't trying to be a comedy anymore - it's being analytical.
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
While Velma certainly suffers in comparison to HBO Max's Harley Quinn, the series' problems are entirely its own, perhaps the biggest one being a failure of tone and balance, as there's too much jammed into this series and no clear focus.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Nostalgia goes a long way, especially when "Velma" maintains its predecessor's overarchingly silly tone.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
"Show, don't tell" is one the most universal and basic pieces of storytelling advice, so follow it.
Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
Too much meta humor, not enough heart.
AV Club
Saloni Gajjar
Velma boasts a well-structured narrative with jokes, suspense, interconnected plotlines, and evolving relationships instead of a case-of-the-week format and various monster antics.
Entertainment Weekly
Darren Franich
Velma mostly replaces the old silly sensibility with crass name-droppy pointlessness.
TheWrap
Gwen Ihnat
You have to wonder, in the development of "Velma," where did everything go so horribly wrong?
