Velma Season 2: Review. By Christopher Patterson.

An Interesting and Fun Season of Television

Velma is truly a one-of-a-kind show and experience. While some detest it, others will clearly see its worth and jump in. The main focus of this season is a new mystery, specifically a new killer, which Velma and her friends must stop. If that doesn’t hook you yet, it’s a comedy you will never forget.

What keeps this show going is its emphasis on metaness. Meta-humour runs this show unlike anything else, and generally, it works quite well. Velma Season 2 uses it to show the development of Velma herself to be more accepting of Daphne as she changes religiously, and it helps to portray its characters in a unique and bold way. Never has metaness been so uniquely and boldly used.

One of the best elements here is the artwork, which bursts with so much care and detail. The artwork alone demonstrates the meticulous attention to detail in this show. We will have characters simply talking, and the artwork is doing everything it can to truly highlight the scene, as if there is a ghost nearby.

Even better, each voice actor is evidently giving their utmost effort, resulting in exceptionally well-done voice acting. Mindy Kaling, specifically, has a wit and self-awareness that contribute to how Velma is aware of the world, which makes it all the more engaging.

The characters are quite compelling, with each having a complex feel that really hooks you in. Despite her efforts to the contrary, Velma possesses undeniable flaws in how she judges people’s religious values and her acceptance of people. She is, first and foremost, a teenager. A teenager is trying to make sense of the world. She sometimes doesn’t understand people, but everybody her age has those moments, and it makes her deeply sympathetic. The other characters, like Daphne and Norville, have this flawed nature. What’s so great, though, is that characters like Velma aren’t afraid to say it like it is, and that’s cool. The show has its own style and suits itself well.

Despite strong areas, the story is quite dull, especially in the opening and middle sections of this season, which feel quite disconnected from the latter half in both writing and storylines. It feels as though the first half takes itself less seriously before transitioning to a more serious tone.

VERDICT

Velma Season 2 is a fun roller coaster with enough engaging characters and humour to hook anyone looking for a fun time.
