Matt Rife: Natural Selection (2023 TV Special)
7/10
Hang in there Matt
24 November 2023
Like many, I assume, I was excited that Matt has a Netflix show and so I set in to share this joy with a friend. Matt seemed out of his element and made a decent attempt to merge what he does with a stand up special. I personally didn't realize how dark he could go, but it makes sense. I also think this is a stage in his comedic development. He has some good material here and seems to be finding his voice for a larger audience. His more intimate work and spontaneity doesn't really vibe with a stand up special. Its intriguing to see his development and I am curious as to how he will move to make his work more accessible to the masses . He has the talent and the chops. It's just a bit of a rocky start here.

I imagine him to be discouraged by the reception or disappointed for sure.

Hopefully this generates a buzz that gets people check out his work online and that Netflix sees past this hiccup to whats possible.

I doubt this is the end for Matt , but a stepping or milestone in his career. He is a young talented guy yet !
