Critics Consensus

Chelsea Does manages to investigate some meaningful topics, but the show's polarizing namesake is also its greatest liability.

Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic The main problem with Chelsea Does, a four-part Netflix docuseries centered around the comedian Chelsea Handler, well, doing things, is that it doesn't know which one of these genres it should aim for. Jan 25, 2016 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times [Handler's] brassiness does make her interesting, and makes her a good interviewer. Jan 25, 2016 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Chelsea Does... [is] a four-part series on Netflix by Chelsea Handler (Eddie Schmidt directed) in which she breaks the documentary mold, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Jan 25, 2016 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Handler fans will enjoy what she has to offer, while others may find the anecdotal discussions mildly interesting. Rated: 3/5 Feb 8, 2016 Full Review Donald Strohman The Young Folks At the end of the day, Chelsea Does isn't a documentary designed for everyone, but if you do manage to find something fascinating between the flagrant flaws, you'll leave this season with a pleasant enough experience in memory. Rated: 6/10 Jan 29, 2016 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 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. Jan 25, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member In this series Handler always comes across as desperately seeking approval and relevance by attaching herself to every cause and issue with only a superficial understanding of the facts. It's embarrassing to watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review joseph d This woman is a hack and highly overrated Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member So funny and entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I can characterize this show as Vice meets Mike Rowe. Chelsea Does should be an annual event.
