I'll try to cover the good, bad, & neutral The animation is passable but not special by any means. It's not bad but it doesn't look like there was any love put into the work. They gave it just enough attention to not be bad. This isn't something I'd take stars from, because a show could be great without eye-catching animation. The writing is really bad. The jokes come off like they were intended to appeal to the comedic tastes of a child, but with subject matter that's aimed at older people. This isn't to say it's all kid jokes, but it's mostly low hanging fruit, childish humor, & imitations of jokes found in recent popular shows, which feels fairly hack. Has a lot of lazy meta humor that would feel overdone by now even if it was written better. The show is filled with stereotypes, which is odd for a show that was striving to be woke. I don't know if they were intentional beyond a lot of the jokes following the recent trend of "laugh at the stereotypical white guy", but still they couldnt even do woke pandering right. The cast is really cool so I'm giving the show another star simply for them nailing that and the idea being somewhat novel. Really though, it feels like they used the Scooby-Doo franchise as a cash grab since none of the characters are anything like their children show counterparts. It should've just been a different mystery gang. It feels gross that they hijacked those established characters for a show like this. I really want to give it 1 star due to how much I hate it, but being objective I feel like it's at least a 35/100. Wouldn't recommend even if some of the things, like derivative meta humor doesn't bug much. Each view is reinforcement that it's okay to copy other shows jokes, hire people to make shows about franchises they don't care about, or make shameless cash grabs.
