You'll enjoy it. Now I know that her type of humor is definitely not for everyone so I expect this to get not so great reviews, but fans will certainly enjoy it. It's less tame than I imagined they'd make it too, which is nice. It plays out just like her books and writing style which is instantly recognizable. Perhaps the best part of the show is Chelsea herself playing her own older sister Sloane, a religious goody goody type which is the polar opposite of how she is is real life. If you liked Laura Prepon in That 70's Show, I see no reason why you wouldn't like her in this, although I personally wouldn't say she's the absolute best choice for playing Chelsea, but I don't think anyone but Chelsea herself could express the humor best, so that's not really a knock on Laura. All in all I enjoyed it so far and hope it gets bigger and better and follows the rising hilarity that the books do. The laugh track I found somewhat unnecessary though, Chelsea's humor has never been exactly about punchlines like standard sitcoms, but it's not a big distraction, just a handful of times they roll the track at moments I feel weren't meant to be 'hahahaha' moments.
