Good upgrade to a done-to-death formula.
10 April 2020
Scooby-Doo is cute and all that, but after years of the same formula done over and over, we got a reboot with a darker tone, rounder personalities to the gang and more complex relationships between them and the supporting characters.

Fred especially is hilariously obsessed with traps and is super awkward when he is to express his feelings towards Daphne who is all over him and their interaction make the biggest laughs in the entire series.

And the usual villain in a mask is expanded to span all 52 episodes with clues spread all over to add up to one big mystery with many great turns and twists along the way making this easy to binge. Not everything or everyone is necessarily what it appears to be.

Along the way, we also see funny takes on the franchises own tropes and frequent inclusions of different pop culture elements in an often hilarious mockery way.

While I wasn't that keen on the character designs which at times could be uncomfortable in their pointy abstract nature, I can't say anything bad about this well done upgrade in the storytelling of the done-to-death formula of the orherwise beloved gang.
