Warm, thoughtful and intimate, the doc is no ordinary celebrity vanity project or insider's peak reality series. ... Think of Expecting Amy as Schumer's Madonna: Truth or Dare or Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, sans the chiaroscuro pretensions of both. ... In the portrait of this artist, we finally see the effort put into being "effortless".

It is, in the best way reality TV can be, an unfiltered look into the day-to-day personality of a star outside of controlled environments like talk-show couches and red carpets. That is to say that on top of the important work, Expecting Amy is very funny, because Amy Schumer is very funny. ... Expecting Amy is nothing I’ve ever seen before on this scale of celebrity and this level of intimacy, and that to me feels exciting and important.

Whether a person signs on to witness and appreciate this depends entirely on how they feel about Schumer, and same can be said of any public figure whose career depends on the public's whims and affections. And maybe it's useful to see that the story removed from the backstage version we're witnessing is even more interest[ing] and has the potential to allow us a raw and true look inside Amy Schumer, at long last.

Comedians regularly invite audiences into their lives and heads, seeking to glean identifiable truths from their personal experiences. Because "Expecting Amy" offers such an intimate portrait, it's almost impossible to separate the project from the person, meaning one's interest level in Schumer going in will likely determine the extent to which this docuseries diary delivers.

Just no. The sooner were rid of her the better. I heard this compared to Madonna's Truth or Dare and I thought, "are you high?" Schumer is a third rate comedian at best, and a d-list actor. Nobody **** cares about her vagina. Even if there's a kid in it.

Was unfortunate enough to spend the night with a girl that insisted on watching this drivel. Won't be making that mistake again... her or the show.
