Wonderful character development!

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A Masterpiece!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This show is consistently, irreverently funny. I don't understand why people are so negative about it. It's fun to watch every week. I don't think it's trying to be anything more than what it is. It pushes the envelope a little, not so much as say the Sarah Silverman Program. The casting is great. The contrast between Larua and Lauren couldn't be more stark, it is the opposing sides of this dynamic that make the show for me. The rest of the cast seems a perfect compliment. I think they have done a great job. I love the appearances by Lenny Clark. (Was Chelsea's father really like this?) I need to read the book. Kudos to Chelsea Handler for providing the material. I don't have time for a lot of TV, this is a show I make time for, you should too(if you enjoy laughing).

Its pretty simple. If you love Chelsea Handler you will love this show. IF you do not like her, then you will not like this show. I wish they would have kept the original title, but didn't. This show is Raunchy, Blunt, Witty, Sarcastic and a little Taboo. I love the chemistry of the characters. I having worked the bar scene have had co-workers similar to them, and enjoy the subject matter that comes up because of its real world similarity. i didn't think that Laura Prepon could pull off the sarcasm but as the episodes progress, she gets more and more comfortable in her alternate skin. i hope you enjoy this show as much as my partner and i do.

I'll start by saying in general, I like everything Chelseas's done before this show. I've read the books and watch Lately regularly. This show however is a disaster. First of all, it's very difficult to follow the show when Prepon, who is portraying Handler is speaking to Handler, who is portraying Sloan. It's like Chelsea is speaking to herself and it makes it nearly impossible not to think about while watching the two converse. Also, I feel like i'm on the set watching them act during the entire show. None of the conversations so far have flowed well at all. I really do hate the fact that I don't like this show because the book was a lot of fun to read. Oh well, good luck with your next project Chelsea.

I guess many of the negative reviewers have never heard of exposition. The first episode is expected to be a little light on jokes because it requires characters, settings, and backgrounds to be explained. The supporting cast is a bunch of circus freaks, which is a plus. The jokes Chelsea bookended on the end of the scenes for obligatory exposition were all very good. While it's too early to make an early good or bad conclusion (in spite of other reviewers' predeterminations), I'm definitely interested.If anything, Are You There, Chelsea? could end up killing Whitney (a brutally unfunny show that's trying to be Friends...again) because it's actually funny. Hopefully, Whitney won't kill this show by preceding it.
