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.

Joshua Jackson is a Dr. Christian Troy meets George Clooney character with slightly more robust medical knowledge. The casting might be the best part of the show as it also includes the return of Don Johnson to the sea as a suave captain.

I appreciate the format of the show where each episode is a different week on the cruise, with different themes which keeps the procedural aspect fresh. It's interesting to see how the team on a cruise ship would handle certain emergencies that most certainly come up in real life.

It's not a prestige drama, but a surface level exploration of a medical team almost as vapid as the passengers. This wasn't a problem for me because it's exactly what I expected going into it. It's enjoyable as a mildly salacious opportunity to unplug from the day.
