In an exciting atmosphere, this documentary series, follows the daily activity of a well known comedian, Amy Schumer, who does her best to deal with her difficult pregnancy besides working on her new stand-up special.
Schumer is someone who cannot not be working, and her work is translating her experience into the form of a joke. This makes Expecting Amy both a poignant sort of reclamation project and an elaborate if hardly needed defense of her career.
Because Expecting Amy offers such an intimate portrait, it's almost impossible to separate the project from the person, meaning one's interest level in Schumer going in will likely determine the extent to which this docuseries diary delivers.
