I'm giving this a really low score because of the brand. Scooby Doo is made for kids, but so adults can also enjoy it. It makes a promise that you are going to get a Scooby Doo film, show, whatever. And this has actual drugs not implied drugs. It has naked rears but done in a way that is inappropriately explicit for the brand. It has bad words. There is no Scooby They race swapped Mystery Inc. Two cockroaches have sex Fred has a tiny dong Daphne deals drugs The white guy is an idiot That is seriously brand damaging. But then they do even make parts of that the pro-race swapping woke check boxes fans are bad cancel culture people sound as ridiculous as they are. They do make fun of the fact that the people that would like a show like this killed comedy. And they do make fun of the everybody is a Nazi crowd, who are again the only people that would like this. So it does sort of push back against what it is in a meta and entertaining way. Some of it would work in a different show. But this is Scooby Doo, and at the end of the day what this is is the destructing of a franchise. Scooby Doo isn't intended to be this adult in spirit, and all the woke tropes make it predictable.

This show wouldn't had grabbed the attention it did if it wasn't attached to the Scooby-Doo intelectual property. If you changed the color palette and the design of the character, they would be irreconcilable if you compared them to their classic counterparts. Without that, it would be just another irrelevant & forgettable "adult show" that thinks adding vulgarity and foulness makes it "mature", it actually makes it childish. Also, the characters are not "meta" or "self aware" as the writers think, they are just doing cheap lamp-shading, trying to disguise it's terrible writing. The "humor" is not clever nor has a funny punch line, it's just repetitive pop culture reference and small penis mentions (not even jokes, just mentioning Fred has a small penis) which is disgusting body shaming. And finally, they make Vilma and Shaggy black to use it as an excuse to blame any criticism on racism, that card is getting old REALLY fast. This show doesn't have ANY redeemable qualities, is an insult to the audience's intelligence and the legacy of Scooby-Doo, thank God Scooby-Doo isn't a character on this, they would had also massacred that character too. Don't give this show your attention or even rage watch, bad media dies by been irrelevant and not paying attention to it.
