Season 1 Review:
Produced by Morgan Neville and directed throughout by Eddie Schmidt with an expensive-looking creaminess, each episode spends upward of an hour going back and forth through the subject, in different ways: conversational (Handler hanging out with friends, some of them also famous, some of them also comedians, to discuss the matter at hand, or talking to experts in the relevant field); confessional (one on one with a clinical psychologist); and experiential, as she puts herself into different environments, or experiments on herself, to learn something new.

Season 1 Review:
Hardcore documentary fans may find Chelsea Does a bit lacking in terms of depth—especially as the sheen surrounding most of the episodes is a bit off-balance, given Handler’s personal lack of polish. But for Chelsea Handler fans or even people who aren’t deeply invested in the genre, these are definitely good jumping-off points.

Season 1 Review:
Confessional art is one (often wonderful) thing, and confessional art made by women is too often torn apart unthinkingly. But a lengthy meditation by a famous person on their own public image is only interesting if that public figure is doing real reflection. Handler, by contrast, is openly dismissive of anyone who challenges her point-of-view. The race episode is the most pernicious example of that: Handler convenes a panel of activists seemingly only to berate them about how they are wrong and she is right about political correctness.
