The divisive animated series is still doing its spooky stuff hunting
Gas up the Mystery Machine because Velma ’s coming back to streaming. Executive-produced by and starring Mindy Kaling , Velma follows the exploits of everybody’s favorite teen forensic scientist as she sets about losing her glasses and unmasking the elderly owners of haunted amusement parks. Following a divisive first season, the show returns for season two this month. This still isn’t your granddaddy’s Velma Dinkley, though.
However, aspects like the characters’ races, the show’s self-aware humor, and the lack of Scooby-Doo shocked audiences the way only a Scooby-Doo spin-off could. For the record, The A.V. Club’s own Saloni Gajjar praised the show’s “nuanced characterizations” where the characters’ ethnicities aren’t “a defining attribute” but rather a feature that “adds unexplored layers to a known world.” Velma, the character, isn’t letting all that bother her, though.
