It seems best to watch something objectively before forming an opinion instead or echoing one given, but that's not how some people are. These uniformed opinions have little to do about the show.
Anti-white humor is probably the safest humor left around - yet those that rely on it think it's edgy!
Anti-southern humor is much safer. Much smaller group to offend, and pretty much no one defends them.
I havent seen it and dont plan to since Ive never watched Scooby Doo. But Mindy Kaling can do no wrong. The Mindy Project is pretty much the spirtual successor to the Office in my mind.
Looking at this thread.. she was right.

This isn't about being "triggered" by one show. I don't have a problem with racial jokes in general, but society has shifted from tolerance to being openly racist toward white people. Honestly, tell me a white person could make a show or make public statements like these without receiving immense backlash and even loss of employment if they said the same thing about any other race? Dave Chappel is my favorite comedian, and he made fun of white people all the time with some pretty hilarious impersonations, but he was never so cynical about it.Looking at this thread.. she was right.
Fans Aren't Happy That Mindy Said People Would Find “The Office” Too Offensive And "Inappropriate" Today
“Nobody was trying to be like these characters. It was supposed to show all the uncomfortable and inappropriate behaviors everyone encounters even today.”
People are way too triggered these days.
Forgive me for interjecting, but could it be that we are dealing with a review bombing campaign here that is orchestrated by cis white males? This could be the show of 2023 if everyone knew their place.
The streaming subscription model is probably what's keeping these shows alive. Years ago a show like this would be canned after a few episodes due to loss of ad revenue.
I almost don't even believe this is real but apparently it is.
Man, i wonder why this won't be renewed for a second season...
It's almost like it's purposely garbage. As in the new it was going to be garbage and they know it is garbage and they're just doing this to stir up controversy or whatever.
I wouldnt put it past them.
They really have it out for Fred in this show judging by the clips I've seen so far.
It doesn't have the numbers to push the rating up against the weight of the snowflakes.
If I had colon cancer and the only way to be cured would be to watch this show, I would rather shit myself to death in utter agony. At least it would be less painful.
It doesn't sound like it's the shows fault for your obstinance.
So you're saying that the advertisement for it was misleading and the show actually isn't a complete pile of dogshit like the trailed has led me to believe?
I didn't watch the trailer. What convinced me to watch the show was the prescriptive of being informed about the subject directly to see what everyone is missing, intentionally or not, that is getting them worked up. That it turned out to be mildly entertaining satire was a bonus.
Cheap regurgitated shock comedy and nothing new. Not done remotely well. Seems like the newest Beavis & Butthead writers would have had fun satire with these modern streaming shows.
Man...at some of these comments.
Easily the safest. White people in general are chill and dont go nuts if people crack jokes about them. Even more amazingly since in Canada/US (and probably just about all European countries), the majority population are going to be White. So you'd think with tons more Whities it should mean way more pushback, but there isn't.
Yrah, I mean the only way I could possibly be offended is by the quality of the jokes.

The creative's around this show didn't have any "nostalgic affection" for the character's, so why should anyone else?
Nostalgia? Sorry bro but I don't remember any black Velma in the Scooby-Doo they aired on TV when I was a kid.
Man...at some of these comments.
Mindy Kaling can definitely be annoying, but watch the Prime original "Late Night," and I think it will change a lot of minds. I re-watch that one probably once every two or three months. Sure, the movie itself is a little low-rent -- think Amazon wasn't willing to put too much money into it -- but the story's got a lot of heart.
Plus, she's a GREAT voice match for the character, Thelma, who, well, always was an annoying cunt. But come on, folks, no nostalgic affection for the character? At all? You fuckers are dead inside.
Getting people to hate watch might work for the first couple of episodes but I can't think of examples where a series could survive on that.
