I'm up to episode 6 now and I don't hate this show. I think some humor lands, some doesn't, and a lot of it is crude. However there is enough narrative to keep me watching new episodes. There are attempts at character development after the first episode which many people say they did not continue past.
I can see that piggybacking off the success of a children's show and showing us "unlikeable" teenagers that visually resemble the old characters we know has backfired. This isn't a 1 star show but the creators obviously hoped the nostalgia of the franchise would attract viewers and that's where they messed up. This show wouldn't have such a low opinion if the characters had nothing to do with Scooby Doo, but maybe also wouldn't have garnered the viewership to gain so much hatred? Who can say, too late now. Probably won't see another season after this backlash.
