I said of Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power that it was a bad, expensive flop but not horrible. I suggested ROP was less-than-horrible because I watched every episode and was mindful of the old joke that "the food was awful and the portions were small." However, unlike some Youtube critics, I'm not hoping for a season two.
But as regards HBO's Velma, I suffer no such constraints. The tale is told from Velma's perspective and she revealed herself to be such a horrible person that 15 minutes into ep-one I determined she really was the murderer and, the case being solved, I stopped watching. But I will applaud the show's premise that not all persons of the non-binary persuasion are good.
Velma takes a cartoon character aimed at children and repackages her story for adults between the ages of thirteen-and-a-half and fourteen. With the exception of mainstream media movie critics, everyone else pretty much hated it. We can only hope that HBO cancels the plans for a Pornographic Bugs Bunny Show. Yes, I am aware that Bugs once dressed in drag and kissed Yosemite Sam but dammit, they didn't go steady.
