    I flew through these. I never watched her talk show but heard good things about "Chelsea Does." I'm glad I listened and gave it a chance. Chelsea reminds me of my hilarious, strong-willed, opinionated friends, which makes her a perfect candidate for taking viewers on a journey about love, drugs, technology, and racism.

Chelsea reminds me of my hilarious, strong-willed, opinionated friends, which makes her a perfect candidate for taking viewers on a journey about love, drugs, technology, and racism. While you don't always agree with her, when she covers a topic, she hits all angles. It may be reality, but it's not one of those where you're questioning if moments are scripted. Chelsea is real, and so are the people she chooses to delve into these subjects with. I laughed a lot, and even cried. Keep an open mind and "Chelsea Does" is a fun experience that opens the door of self reflection. It's a bit like hanging out with a friend, the one that can piss you off sometimes and who may not know it all, but is going on the journey with you, flaws and all.… Expand

    I love how Chelsea Does Racism contrasts racism that is funny with racism that is definitely NOT funny. When racist beliefs justify and beget pain and violence there is no room for laughter. and this point is illustrated brilliantly. Thanks for your bravery and unique humor Chelsae!

    Chelsea Does is a solid attempt at tackling some important issues and controversial topics, including racism, Silicon Valley, marriage and drugs. For the most part, Chelsea tries her best to respect the people involved and learning as much as she can about the various topics, while also throwing in her usual Chelsea humor amidst the chaos to lighten up the topics.

I enjoyed watching each of the four episodes and if people don't like her or this show, then you still don't seem to understand her personality or humor.… Expand

    I am 3 episodes in, don't know how many there are, but I like it. Seems to be getting **** on...I almost turned it off when I saw on episode 2 she had that kardashian F-wit on, but, I made it through. So, I was a fan of her E show, but this is better, well done Chelsea. Married, Old, bald, white dude from so cal.

    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.
