2/10
Still Bad but a Bit More Decent than the First Episode (A Surprise for Me)
16 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Ok so I watched the first episode, reviewed it and gave a rating of 1/10. I didn't want to watch more episodes after how bad the 1st episode was but I got curious to see if the show could get worse. So here I am, let's do this. Fred is so useless in this show that even eating food can't be done without help of adults. I wonder if there is anything good about Fred in this show. They make him look like he is the most selfish and useless person on the planet. Daphne is selling drugs? Velma is willing to help her because she wants money? And Velma's dad is a drug addict? Everyone is... let's say troubled in this show. So wait im confused. Daphne has a relationship with Fred. Velma likes Fred, Velma likes Daphne and will possibly have a relationship with her in future episodes based on the episode's ending. Plus Norville likes Velma?

Very confusing plot. So while this episode was a bit less annoying than the first one, the problems of the first episode continue in this one. Fred is basically an infant at this point. Norville was and still is what most people would call ''a loser''. Daphne is trying to show that she is more than just a superficial selfish girl. Velma is non-stop judging people while in reality she has no idea what she is talking about, that happens every 2 to 3 minutes. It makes you feel tired while watching. The only character that I find to be somewhat likeable is Norville because while he is silly he has a kind heart while the rest of the characters appear to be poisonous. Im talking about Velma, Daphne and Fred. Also the plot and the way the characters act in this show are completely unrealistic. If they want this unrealistic view on things then they are doing a great job.

The only somewhat decent thing about the show is the animation, without being something amazing or special of course. My rating is 2/10 and this is the last Velma episode im watching, don't expect more Velma reviews from me.
