    A pretty rocky start for the show. It felt very rushed and tired at times. It's clear Handler is happier here than on E! but there's nothing new or fresh about the actual content of the show. I was under the impression it was going to be similar to Chelsea Does but it seems to be standard fare for the most part. There's potential here but it needs some work..

    Ep. 1 had some nice moments served in tiny bits. But mostly it just felt awkward. Which is the premise I guess. But it's the bad kind of awkward. I had a really hard time with the Drew Barrymore part and I just started doing something else since I just lost interest in the conversation they were having. Sort-of liked the education part, had a nice message going on. But I couldn't figureEp. 1 had some nice moments served in tiny bits. But mostly it just felt awkward. Which is the premise I guess. But it's the bad kind of awkward. I had a really hard time with the Drew Barrymore part and I just started doing something else since I just lost interest in the conversation they were having. Sort-of liked the education part, had a nice message going on. But I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be funny or deep. And ultimately it came close to failing at both although, as I started off with mentioning, it did have some sincere and nice moments.… Expand

    The show's namesake host gives her brassy and candid best but the writing is just unfunny and bland, and the banter hasn't improved in season two. The show's catchy instrumental however is pure joy.

    Although this is certainly the most narcissistic talk show in memory, it depends wholly on whether you enjoy Chelsea or not.

    If Chelsea does anything new, it's the same new thing every show has been forced into, now that stars can skip talk shows and use social media to talk directly to fans.

    Rather than humorously highlighting her attempts at education, the pre-taped bits that showed Handler learning about topics such as comic books and telenovelas came across as condescending at best and insulting at worst.
