Series Pilot Review:HBO Max's VELMA

Now I wanted to root for Mindy Kaling and I was behind her when she decided to Thumb her Nose at Scooby Doo Fans with her take on Velma (especially making her Asian now ,and kinda modeling her a bit after Kaling herself) and reimagining Mystery Inc, if it was created in 2021. But all the consistent SELF-AWARE jokes right from the first THREE minutes. It's like She gives herself self pats on the back cause she SO SMART.theres no one to root for and that's SAD
