The freshly debuted 2nd season of Velma on Max is so bad, it’s not even worth a hate watch.
That’s according to one of the Rotten Tomatoes customers who’ve currently weighed in following the reveal’s arrival on Thursday, and who’ve provided the brand-new season of the program that’s seemingly set in the Scooby-Doo universe an embarrassingly bad 15% audience rating. Of course, this was mostlikely to be anticipated following the comparable response that Velma’s initially season got last year, when I composed that it was an example of a kind of sneaking rot dispersing throughout the Max empire.
Changing the name of the banner to Max represented that more of this kind of tripe was in the cards. The premium cabletelevision network that hadactually been concerned as the home of status TELEVISION, a la The Sopranos and Game of Thrones, would now have a “max” variation that’s actually simply packed with more of anything and whatever. Including this dumb extension of one of the most cherished animated classics of all time.
Somehow, Velma handled to bring both critics and audiences into positioning over how huge a piece of trash it is. And one thing that made it such a punching bag was its remarkable departure from the tone of the OG series, taking in a cruder and more fullygrown ambiance to the characters that audiences came to see as mean and nasty (again, this is the Scooby-Doo franchise we’re talking about here!).
