I'm a cord cutter. I don't have netflix, but I watch alot of shows on the computer. Last week this one came on my radar of new series coming out. It's got seven episodes. I said what the shit, I'll give it a watch. I was entertained enough to watch the whole series. As the title suggests, it's got an over the top "Florida Man" theme like you see in news stories. I think it's worth checking out. I can't remember a recent series that had no gay characters. Not a one to be seen here.

Watch it, or don't.

Its not super fantastic but its pretty decent and some of the florida stereotype jokes give a bit of a chuckle.

I have a hard time wanting to watch considering they cast a venuezuelan as “florida man”.
If it was “Miami man” maybe that would make sense, but not florida man lol

This^

The main character is miscast.

I just can’t get past the dudes accent.

I grew up in Florida. YOU DIDNT! Just grates every time he opens his mouth and they flash back to his childhood.

Wants to be Elmore Leonard, but falls short.

Ho-hum, NEXT!

Total fail that the main character isn't a longhaired sunburnt redneck with a greasy mullet

I live in New Smyrna Beach and they used some local spots in the show. That's the only reason I gave it a shot. Barely made it through the first episode. FloridaMan on Instagram is definitely more entertaining.

It is horrible and it even can't protray the Hispanic FloridaMan population. We have plenty of Venezuelans in Florida. But the show is just horribly written.
