"Florida Man" is a Netflix mini-series that follows the life of Mike Valentine, a gambling addict and former cop who returns to his hometown to find a mobster's girlfriend who is hiding out. The series focuses on the exploits of the famous Florida Man meme, which has become the identity of the state. The show tries to blend mystery with comedy but ultimately falls short of delivering at a steady pace, with its last two episodes being arguably its best. The writing of the show makes grave mistakes, including making Florida feel more like a cartoon than an actual place on Earth. The show is filled with twists, bizarre plotlines, and some over-the-top action that could have been salvaged if it was slightly shorter.
