Alex Cooper Is Far More Interesting Than Her Hulu Docuseries ‘Call Her Alex’: TV Review

Hulu's docuseries recounts podcating tycoon Alex Cooper's megarise, the launch of "Call Her Daddy" and tidbits from her formative years.

Russo-Young turns her lens on Cooper as she manages personal anxieties surrounding the seven-stop tour while centering on the bond she shared with her then-close friend and executive producer, Lauren McMullen and her now-husband and business partner, Matt Kaplan. Much stronger than its predecessor, the docuseries’ second episode unpacks the origins of “Call Her Daddy.” Part 2 zeroes in on major highlights like Cooper’s Spotify and later $125 million Sirius XM deals and even offers viewers glimpses of her wedding and her interview last fall with Vice President Kamala Harris during her presidential run. Cooper also reflects on the evolution of the program from a raunchy sex show about blow jobs to one centered on her vulnerability, shedding her “Daddy” persona and focusing on a wide variety of subjects, including interviews with a diverse range of guests, such as Jane Fonda, Janelle Monáe, Christina Aguilera and others.
