I'm the house lefty over here, and I thought it was unwatchable. It's impossible to laugh at a show that's so ashamed of itself that it can't even let the characters speak like people to each other without launching into some ironic fourth wall breaking commentary on how terrible the characters are or the show is. Like the show's writers think they're too cool for their own show somehow.

Its pretty bad, but honestly given how subjective comedy is, I have to admit that there's no shortage of things that I dislike more.
Can't even say that it's a proper hate-watch for me, more a source of morbid fascination with me scratching my head at exactly who its intended for.

Not to Knock Daisy, beauty being subjective and all….but to my eyes, she’s one of the most generic looking white woman imaginable. I’d choose Kelly Marie every time.

As others have said I don't understand who this was made for. Just Mindy and whoever wrote it I guess. Are test screenings not a thing for streaming shows? They saw this and thought it was good shit? Raised by wolves was cancelled but this was greenlit? What a world.

To each his own. I reckon there’s more people that look like Tran than Ridley in the world. So who really is more generic?Not to Knock Daisy, beauty being subjective and all….but to my eyes, she’s one of the most generic looking white woman imaginable. I’d choose Kelly Marie every time.

Fair point. But from my perspective as a white American male, one is significantly more appealing to me. But I’m sure the opposite is also true.

I think KMT looks better than Daisy, myself. Johnson did her a disservice... I remember folks on this board calling her "the fat Asian" when she is NOT fat!
I don't think any of the design decisions for KMT's wardrobe were the fault of Ridley, tho. Johnson and the wardrobe dept are at fault for that.

It's horrible. This doesn't have to do anything with Scooby Doo. This is about Mindy Kaling self-inserting herself and using a popular IP to spout her beliefs and opinions about women and white people. It's utterly pathetic and I sincerely hope she never works on TV ever again.

I had a look at that guy's channel. Does he cover anything he actually likes?

That's not where the clicks are. You gotta be outraged by every thing. It's getting pretty tiresome seeing the majority of YouTube being that.

Nah it's more if people like a thing they don't bother watching reviews of it. Also isn't most of youtube fucking reaction videos?

Yeh, I get that it's chasing views but it just seems like such a soulless way to interact with media. These channels all pretty much seem to cover the exact same things as each other too.
Personally, I like reading/watching reviews and analysis of pieces of media I enjoy. It can help deepen my understanding and appreciation of it. And it can also just be interesting to see what someone else's take on it is. Also, I'm not a big reaction video person but doesn't the stuff people react to vary quite a bit? Like it could be funny, cool, surprising, scary, creepy, cringey or a whole range of other things. Whereas that style of youtube video seems to be pretty one-note.

I don't know if I would have ever called myself a Scooby Doo fan...it was something that had numerous cartoons that I watched and enjoyed as a kid. When the live action movies came out, I was a dumb enough teen that I got some enjoyment out of them (it helped that Linda Cardellini and Sarah Michelle Gellar were smokin back then). Anyway, I would never call myself a "fan", just yeah...a series that's been fun comfort junk over the years.
But this show, god...it just seems so fucking terrible in every way. I don't know if I'm upset that they're doing this to these characters, or all the politically correct BS being shoved into it...whatever it is, I just don't like it. I fucking hate that we can't have fun, good things anymore in so much media.
They keep using that term "toxic masculinity" for almost any masculine trait. This show makes me want to coin the term toxic feminism, because that's what this bull shit seems like.
I don't know if it's intentional, but this show points out the hypocrisy in the feminist bull shit. They want men to conform to what they want, yet they still really just want to fuck the men who act like assholes who they claim to despise, and think are toxic. The men who are "allies", they are treated as simps that can be used, but never appreciated, which is really sad on all fronts.

There's some legitimately good stuff on YT worth checking out. A few I would recommend.
Art:
https://www.youtube.com/@GreatArtExplained - Classic art
https://www.youtube.com/@stewarthicks - Architecture (it's art to me dammint)
Outdoors:
https://www.youtube.com/@BeauMiles - Aussie that runs, kayaks, etc. with a view on exploring the local
https://www.youtube.com/@campingwithsteve - A guy in Canada that does stealth camping in weird locations like roundabouts
Travel:
https://www.youtube.com/@baldandbankrupt - A guy whose catalog was most Russia and soviet countries until he got banned from Russia for being critical of the Ukraine war, even though he was not really commenting on it. Really educational with a focus on the day-today small villages and life.
https://www.youtube.com/@SailorJames - Guy from Cali that bought his dream boat and now is sailing the pacific; really insightful vlog of his journey
Gaming:
https://www.youtube.com/@ActionButton - Tim Rogers, love him or hate him. Long form reviews of games. If you love language and prose, he's your guy. If you just want information about a game, know that you will get it, but 80% of the content is storytelling with a dry humor.
https://www.youtube.com/@JosephAndersonChannel - Longform reviews without the storytelling of the above.
https://www.youtube.com/@SummoningSalt - Speed running histories done in a very entertaining way
https://www.youtube.com/@DigitalFoundry - Digital Foundry, enough said already I suppose.
Cooking:
https://www.youtube.com/@AlvinKZhou - The art of the slow meal preparation with incredible visuals and audio.
https://www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz - Primarily desserts from a French-trained baker/chef.
Science:
https://www.youtube.com/@pbsspacetime - All things space and physics
https://www.youtube.com/@astrumspace - Like the above
https://www.youtube.com/@veritasium - Best science YT channel that I am aware of. Can't recommend enough.
Culture:
https://www.youtube.com/@Channel5YouTube - Covers both US events as well as weird subcultures. A bit like a more modern version of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend series, if that means anything to you.
Misc:
https://www.youtube.com/@wheezywaiter - Guy in Wisconsin who covers a ton of topics and does things like 30 day challenges. He's gotten into fitness in the past few years. Very funny and entertaining guy.

Excellent stuff. Yeah there is tons of good stuff on yt. If a person can't find any that's on them. I'll add Andrew Huberman to that science list. His podcasts are super informative. He does a lot of fitness and health related content so its good for everyone.

I second Huberman. He should be on my list but I missed him.

Is this a robot chicken parody where Scooby was sent to the pound and some aliens swapped out the characters with strange clones?
