Velma review: Zoinks! Mindy Kaling's Scooby-Doo prequel is a (mostly) fun time
Underneath the buzzy one-liners is a generic but fun mystery or two. Velma is trying to find her missing mother, Diya , who vanished a couple of years ago. She’s convinced something terrible happened to her mom. Her dad, Aman , believes Diya abandoned them, so he moves on with the local diner’s vain waitress/owner Sophie . Velma is pathologically obsessed with figuring out what happened to Diya, so she usually disregards people unless they’re useful to her quest.
Don’t worry, though, because Daphne is more than a damsel in distress. She’s essentially the second lead, voiced pitch-perfectly by Wu with a blend of menace and vulnerability. Adopted by a lesbian couple , Daphne sets out to learn more about her birth parents as the season evolves. The show’s remarkable contribution to Scooby-Doo lore is developing Velma and Daphne’s captivating dynamic. They go from childhood buddies to frenemies to a potential romance without contrivance.
