    Strangely does not make Handler out to be the sharpest of people. She seems overmatched and out thought by most of the topics and the randomness makes the episode seem like they weren't thought out.

    Let's just get a camera, bring up a sensitive topic and bam! Let Chelsea take over. The result is thin and flat, unusual for Chelsea.

    Ultimately, Handler’s documentary functions more as a way to justify her brand of humor than to offer a fresh take on how we talk about race.

    For all its uncomfortable juxtapositions and awkward tonal inconsistencies, there are moments in Chelsea Does that make for truly compelling television.

    I found the series irritating because I find Handler funny very rarely. If you’re a fan, you’ll have a great time, because what this series should be called is Chelsea Does Chelsea.
