Not what' I expected at all

Just watched the first three episodes, and this show is boring as *beep*. Practically zip comedy. All it is is Chelsea talking about random stupid *beep* with her guests that really is not that entertaining to watch. Chelsea is just not a good host. Her monologues just look like she's reading the teleprompter for the first time of material someone else wrote, which is something other hosts like Conan do flawlessly. She's also just not that funny. Most her jokes generally have something to do with how amazing or what a slut she is. This is just not a good show so far. 4/10

I disagree. I actually like it. Its refreshing. She talks about REAL topics with her guests or through her segments. I feel like its an expansion of her Chelsea Does documentary. Her jokes about how amazing or what a slut she is, is her style. Its not the first time she jokes about it either.

Real topics??? No, shows like Last Week Tonight cover REAL topics about REAL things going on in America. Every segment on Chelsea is surrounded around her. She got that teacher on, just to show people she's not retarded. She got the Ted got on, just to show her stupid video. She got that comic book girl on, just to let everyone know she hates comic books. She gets all her celebrity guests on, just to tell a story of her past while helping them promote some product. Nothing about her show is informative, yet she tries to act like that's what her shows about. I know she said she hates when people say it, but damn Chelsea is one stupid woman.

I guess politics, religion, education, science, technology etc arent considered real topics. Oops!

Its not your cup of tea? and you hate Chelsea Handler? Move along.

[quotes]All she had to do was update her E! show without being boring or stupid.[/quotes]

I think the whole point of her moving from E! to Netflix is that she didn't have the control that she probably has now with Netflix. Look at E! as a whole, in that look at what they try to promote. They have a certain image they want to put out, which she seemed to constantly gripe about and she probably didn't want to keep working at the same company where her ex works, who happens to still be your boss.

I think having her talk show on E! helped her career tremendously and served her well, but no, in order for her to grow and be better, she had to move on and not do Chelsea Lately anymore.

Chelsea Does is a great show while Chelsea is boring and currently rated One Star on Netflix.

It's not rated one star, Netflix no longer gives a general rating, the star is what it thinks YOU would give it. Seems since you hate it, one star was appropriate. For me it showed as 3 stars. I have asked Netflix to bring back the general rating because I like to know what the average is - they chatted with me and said they would send the feedback through.

I thought the first two episodes kind of sucked, but it's gotten progressively better. I thought the last episode where she went to Russia was hilarious.

It's got some good points, but the guests last week we're pretty bad. I really like her taped segments, it reminds me of why "Chelsea Does..." was so good/funny.

I hate to reference the old show, but her round table was always the best segment. She has a lot of comedian friends, she should bring back the discussion portion but with more substantial topics like current events, politics and the occasional celebrity gossip.

She spends too much time with her guests on this show and the segments right before the end, the interview with some random expert, aren't the best.

She's not stupid and very funny, I'm sure they can still turn this around. All she had to do was update her E! show without being boring or stupid.
