Matt Rife: Lucid - A Crowd Work Special

Off-the-heels of his Natural Selection flop, Netflix delivers Lucid to try and recapture the weird enigma of Matt Rife. Rife's sudden rise to fame from social media shorts basically had exchanges like this:

Matt: Where do you work?

Guest: Victoria's Secret

Matt: (ADHD screaming) Oh my God! You work at Victoria's Secret?!?!

Audience: *Seal noises of middle-aged woman cackling*

That's pretty much the gist of it. It follows much of the same generic crowd work form factor as Akaash Singh joking about Indian IT workers or Phil Hanley joking about special needs teachers. There is little new or particularly interesting to see with Lucid. If you're not into the same, you probably won't like this special. If you are one of Matt's fan, chances are you will still be disappointed Lucid wasn't a continuous highlight reel.
