What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

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. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 01/25/2016
[Handler's] brassiness does make her interesting, and makes her a good interviewer. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 01/25/2016
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. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 02/08/2016

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. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 01/25/2016
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/10/2020 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. See more 02/05/2018 So funny and entertaining. See more 11/01/2016 I can characterize this show as Vice meets Mike Rowe. Chelsea Does should be an annual event. See more Linda C 08/12/2016 I just love this series See more 07/06/2016 Chelsea can do whatever she wants, congrats See more 05/20/2016 The concept was genius. The casting, not so much. Having been completely unaware of the existence of this comedian, I went in very open-minded. Chelsea Handler's personality is charming until you realize she is completely self-absorbed and excrutiatingly impolite. Even for a basic docu-series, the "host" should maybe learn to let people asnwer her questions without cutting them off everytime just so that she can talk about herself... See more Read all reviews
