Last year, Max released Velma, an animated adult “reimagining” of the Scooby Doo franchise that became one of the most hated series in the history of television. On Thursday, April 25, Max premiered a second season of Velma that is almost as bad as the first.
Produced by Mindy Kaling, Velma is riddled with unfunny hostility toward men, particularly white men as embodied in Velma’s doofus version of Fred (Glenn Howerton). Fred is a dumb and infantilized character who is routinely mocked.
Season two’s plot is about a serial killer targeting white middle-aged men. The killer chops off the victims’ penises.
