    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.

She often comes across as your entertainingChelsea tries a little too hard in these episodes which seem to drag on, plotless and unmotivated. She often comes across as your entertaining middle-aged aunt ranting about something that really isn't original or creative. Yes, the self-absorbed and "I don't like other people just my pets" schtick is a staple for many comedians, but in this series you'll see her use that a walker. I would suggest she try harder, but it seems like these episodes were her doing exactly that. Thank God there were only four.… Full Review »

She has the comic timing and no-one can take that away from her, but the pretense that she has any insight into what she is commenting on, enough to turn it into a mirror on society the way these other brilliant comedians were able to, is clueless at best, arrogant at worst. I used to like her, but after sitting through this self-indulgent, unfunny mess of poorly edited derivative television I have become very uninterested in watching her again. Maybe that is a blessing since there are so many more important issues in the world than anything she wastes my time turning into a way to get attention for herself!… Full Review »
