And given that this is a Mindy Kaling production, you probably already know what that is.

Velma is the Scooby Doo reboot no one asked for.

Charlie Grandy's R-rated adaptation has more jokes than mysteries, and an all-star cast. Review

Raunchy humor and some smart story beats make Velma a genuinely fun ride for the most part, but it would have been elevated to must-watch status had it gone in a different direction with the glasses-wearing star.

Velma review: Zoinks! Mindy Kaling's Scooby-Doo prequel is a (mostly) fun time

Well cast and consistently funny, the Mindy Kaling-led animated origin story is light on action but full of memorable characters.

Mindy Kaling re-introduces the animated mystery-solver for an older audience and gives her a string of fun, spooky and sly new adventures

Starring Mindy Kaling and developed by her longtime collaborator Charlie Grandy, HBO Max's modern reimagining of 'Scooby-Doo' doesn't quite work.

Jokes become exhausting in the meta, not-for-kids ‘Scooby Doo’ prequel on HBO Max.

Mindy Kaling plays Velma, the Scooby-Doo heroine, in an animated prequel also featuring the voices of Sam Richardson, Constance Wu and Glenn Howerton.

Mindy Kaling stars in the Scooby Doo-free origin story Velma, envisioned as an adult animated series for HBO Max. Read our review here.

Mindy Kaling's HBO Max reboot makes 'Harley Quinn' look... well, much better than 'Velma.'

Mindy Kaling stars as the Scooby-Doo character Velma in HBO Max's extremely R-rated, animated and unfortunately off-putting prequel.

“This is my story, told my way,” the title character narrates at the outset of “Velma,” an adult-oriented take on “Scooby-Doo” that demonstrates the limits of stretching what amounts to a one-note joke into a series. Sporadically witty but ultimately rather tedious, the HBO Max comedy leverages more than a half-century of name equity to yield an animated prequel that’s definitely not for kids, meddling or otherwise.

Every episode is a cringy, eye-rolling slog that doesn't seem to have any idea who its audience is, yet seems to despise them all the same.

Let the kids have their 'Bluey.' Old 'Scooby-Doo' fans can bask in the nostalgia of Mindy Kaling's adult take on a classic with animated 'Velma.'
