I love Demitri Martin's observational humor.
Unfortunately, the director's choice of narration occasionally detracted from the comedy. With that being said, I applaud the courage to experiment with a new style of narration and there may have been tweaks to the style that would improve the humor rather than ruin it.
Overall, if you're a fan of Demitri Martin, then I would recommend this special, because it mostly what you would expect from him. As I mentioned, the special occasionally pulls back and the viewer will hear Demetri narrating his thoughts; unfortunately, this is only sometimes funny.
Netflix determined the special for me as a 98% match.

Today I watched the first 17 minutes of this special. The first bit with animals was funny. I've had adjacent thoughts which were not necessarily comical in nature but I thought perhaps a lot of them could take a comical perspective.
