Mystery Incorporated (2022)

Watchseries; A broody low budget version of Scooby Doo. If you wanted a modern take on a classic, why choose tropes from 40 years ago? ... a stock soundtrack that sounds like it was from 20 years ago? Remove the shoehorn slang parroted from Tiktok trends, and this show gives us nothing new or fresh. At the heart it should be a mystery.. and the hook just isn't that engaging. Sadly It's not good. Could have been worse... the dialogue, the plot, the acting, and cinematography would be alright if it wasn't such a beloved property, but this seems more like a cash grab than a labor of love. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have sat through it. Thelma makes a huge deal about "loving science" then spends the rest of the show researching occult volumes as if they were textbooks.

The best performance in this whole show is by far Scoob's swinging ball sack. The fake vignette could have been toned down a stop or three. The spirit of Scooby Doo should be a rational (non-supernatural) explanation behind every mystery, but that requires actual effort. If I didn't care or was 12, I'd probably be into it. But today it doesn't work, audiences are smarter and deserve more respect.

Mystery Incorporated watchseries. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo and all the movies and absolutely loved them, this is just garbage. I implore you to not waste your time watching this disaster.

I must admit I was confused when I saw this on YouTube. I thought it must have been pirated from network TV or similar. The quality of the acting, sets, script, effects and music (though loud) is just so spot on. Imagine my surprise with a quick Google I realised this was fan made but also crowd funded??

It is so good.

This is a love letter to every Scooby fan out there with enough that new comers will enjoy every second. Really well done to the team behind it and thank you. You very unexpectedly made my day.

This is such a sugary, cheap, over glossed easily forgotten nonsense, it is hard to see how anyone would make any effort to watch more than one episode. No depth in the characters all of whom would be at home on a cat walk.

I heard that American audiences wont accept a normal looking cast, but it really just takes you away from whats happening as you already groaning before the story begins.

I have the say, I went into this not expecting very much. I expected it to be some poorly made, averagely edited YouTube-quality video and I was sorely mistaken. The quality was insanely good and I genuinely felt like I was watching something that could be on Netflix or Hulu. The plot and story were engaging and interesting to watch and there were so many aspects that avid Scooby Doo fans will obsess over like I did. Although the acting was... not great at times, I was so incredibly happy while watching and I truly enjoyed myself. I cannot wait for another episode to come out. The costumes and makeup were especially impressive and you can tell how much work and effort was put into the making of the first episode. I cannot get over how impressive everything was. You can watch it for free on YouTube and I recommend, as soon as you are done reading this review, to go watch it immediately. I know I will be watching it for a second time soon. Incredible work!

Was surprised with the quality of a fan made pilot, it was well done, good quality, and am excited to see more! It is a different sort of take on the Scooby Doo line and it shows promise. If netflix or another company picks it up, it would be that much better, but as it is, the production quality is excellent, some of the actors (like the one coach) were a bit off but over all , very well done.
