Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Chelsea Newman (Laura Prepon) is struggling to get her life in order. When she gets a DUI, it's not the drinking but the driving she's cutting out. She and her friend Olivia (Ali Wong) move in with Dee Dee (Lauren Lapkus) whose apartment is within walking distance to her job at the bar.This is suppose to be based on Chelsea Handler's life and her book. Her drunken exploits may be funny in book form but as a traditional bodied sitcom it never worked. In the show, she plays Chelsea's straight-laced religious sister Sloane which becomes annoying. I think Prepon was miscast. In the 70s Show, she's the straight laced mommy character of the group. She's wrong for this and the group never gels. Honestly, it never had much of a chance but bad writing really meant it had no chance at all. Laura Prepon is strangely out of place. Lauren Lapkus has the quirky best friend down. The rest of the gang is just unlikeable. Jake McDorman's charm is not there. The show doesn't work.

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).

I liked that girl on "That 70s Show." But in this show, she acts just like herself. She has Chelsea Handler's flat tone down (because it's her own tone as well) but it's like she's trying to be so cool and hard. She doesn't exhibit any of Handler's happy-go-lucky, chuckling, self-deprecating crassness. I'm watching this week's episode (01x08). She just said, "Wiggling, my friend. Wiggling." The real Chelsea would totally say that, but not the way that girl did. Sorry I don't know her name. This could be a lot better if she had the character down a little better. I dunno, it's just disappointing when we love the real Chelsea so much.

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.
