I saw a YouTube review that covers this well.
If you have a character that is a rude jerk, you need a moment of growth where they learn and realize the error of their ways and, if they don’t change, they at least show a moment of empathy to their mocked victims… Velma’s character has no growth. She starts out a rude jerk and continues being a rude jerk throughout.

You're right. There's no law that's says something has to be excellent. It can be mediocre or full of lazy fictionalizations. But don't ask me to bless and blindly worship those flaws then, the way his followers do.

That’s exactly where I am.
It’s completely and utterly fine. I think there are a lot of legitimate criticisms that can be made, but people are deluding themselves if they think all the backlash doesn’t have ulterior motives

Velma said it at the beginning. It's her orgin story. These characters will develop into the characters that we know and love but it takes time.

Reply to So I guess the days of wacky, entertaining, product spokespeople (Billie Mays, Ron Popeil, Shamwow guy, etc) selling you bullshit you don't need have ended, huh? I pity Gen Z as they will never know the pleasure.... by Bluest_waters
There’s a guy I think that does this now, I don’t know his name and I think he promotes a cleaning product and when something is clean, he goes "WOOP!”. It still exists with that guy. His commercial comes on a few times.
And to be honest, influencers, Instagram ads, the Instagram shop is also selling us bullshit that we don’t need as well.

Nope, terrible show. I was hoping for an adult version of the Scooby-Doo Gang. Instead, the show is just mean and racist.

Yeah but it's streaming. Meaning they can watch it whenever.

>west coast will be grumping that they aren't home from work and ready to watch a show at 5pm.
100% false. They have HBO Max. They can watch it when they get back. Only a few boomers who still watch on the TV channel rather than Max would complain.

Yeah it's a little inconveniently late. I think it'd be much better if they came out at 8pm. That extra hour is a huge difference.

It’s a fine show, nothing special but not nearly as terrible as people make out. As a Scooby doo fan from my childhood I don’t really think of it as being Scooby doo, but I can appreciate a different take on the characters. Regardless, it doesn’t effect my enjoyment of the old shows

Bill Maher and Edge of Tomorrow are happening on HBO from 6-9pm.
I'm assuming you're talking about Sunday evening episode premiers.

It definitely wouldn’t work as well for me if I lived in the eastern time zone.

HBO has historically been a channel that most people primairily get to watch movies commercial-free on cable/satelite and probably still is. HBO shows are critically acclaimed but you aren't seeing massive viewership via linear in the past two decades apart from a handful of shows, especially in recent years with streaming. Most of the viewership is happening on streaming nowadays for the people interested in the shows. The Last of Us only had around ~1M viewers on linear whereas had millions more viewers on streaming.
So to answer your question what's happening 6-8PM is that they are showing movies. Movies that are likely the primary reason why a lot of people are subscribing to and using the linear channel.
