    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.

    “Expecting Amy” really has no right being a three-hour(ish) series and could have been a 90-minute movie. ...

    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.
