About

Being bad never felt so good.

Chelsea Newman is young, strong-willed, and a force of nature determined to live life to the fullest and make no apologies. Her friends are along for the ride, but they all know it's Chelsea's way or the highway. Her fiery Cuban BFF accuses her of "collecting weirdoes", but to Chelsea, different types of people just make life more interesting. Chelsea works at her local bar, where her co-workers are just as crazy as she is. Based on Chelsea Handler's 2008 best-selling autobiography, 'Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea'.
