    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.

    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.

    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.

    The series is not only entertaining and admirable but also an important look at what so many women, even those at the very top of their game in the entertainment industry, have to go through and pretend it’s all good when it very clearly is not.
