It's Florida, Man

Being from my the UK we've heard that you can Google Florida man and on any day there's a crazy story. Although I've not done it personal, I do rel over my son showing me, hence why I was pretty much sold in giving it a go.

Then to see the names of cast, production I was and still am enthused to see the next crazy true story, being told but those people involved which helps you believe it's a true story because the comical reconstructions can make you forget that it's not just a story and that it really happened. I've only seen a few episodes but I have been raving about the show to anybody who'll hear me!

The stories themselves are entertaining enough, and the reenactments by various comedians and actors are just a bonus. It harkens back to Drunk History on Comedy Central in its adaptation of the personal stories and narration of the first hand accounts.

The show brings in outside parties like animal experts to enhance the stories.

The Floridians themselves seem proud of the "Florida Man" colloquialism, and they are excited to share their contributions to the stereotypes. Some of the segments are actually quite wholesome since the story tellers are excited and a little proud to tell their tales and earn their place in "Florida Man" history.

I'll admit, the show's premise is weird and dark, but it's packed with amazing comedic actors bringing these stories to life. As of right now the show has released one episode, but it's production value, set dec, and inclusion of the actual people involved in these crazy situations really has me champing at the bit for more!

It's Florida and we are inundated with crazy stories bc of the sunshine law, and I think some Floridians may hate this show, but ignore the negative reviews and get freaky with this great show. Any series or film that has Sam Richardson, Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, and Randall Park will be comedic glory.

If you have a weak stomach or an aversion to dark/blue humor i would say challenge yourself and try to engage, but it might not be for you.

After all it states it's a "Late Night" comedic series.

Prefacing this with the fact that I have watched only one episode and won't be bothering with any more.

So what does this have to do with Florida? Maybe one or more of these stupid people live in Florida...so what? Stupid people are everywhere. Stupid stories are everywhere. I would have named this show "Stupid Stories - Stupid People".

I was really hoping for stories that might be exclusive to Florida, which in itself is a pretty unique place. Gators, Cubans, Mickey Mouse, Canadians.

This show just makes Florida seem the same as everywhere else. I could have watched "It's Idaho, Man" and probably learned something about potatoes.

Don't waste your time, watch Jackass instead.

When I saw that Danny McBride was an executive producer this whole 27 minutes made sense. The interviews being repeated by actors is an old trick. God knows the show would not lead with it's best episode. Florida does have it's idiots much like every other state. We will see what the remaining episodes bring us, but if it Danny McBride expect a lot of gore and nonsense.

Even my my young son came out of his room to say, "what the hell am I watching?"

And he loves everything.

I see what were going for but they missed on episode 1. There are thousands of stories about Florida due to the Freedom of information Act. My favorite is the man in Naples who raised rattlesnakes in his apartment.
