Florida Man

Overall for me the show was a pleasant suprise and a fun ride. The plot, acting and dialogue are all well done. That being said there are number of times certain suspenssion of disbelief is required, but this is fortunately easilly doable as the show works so well as a whole.

I think the length is an issue both ways. As a movie this would have felt too rushed. Now the 7 ep's lenght makes it have few too many plot twists and suprises that needlessly go back and forth. And of course the inevitability of a 2nd season means that the conclusion has to be written open and vague enough to allow the possibility to continue the story.

I wasn't going to write a review, but I'm not sure where the hate is coming from. Now, how many times have you read all that?!

This is a fun summer watch about varying groups of very dysfunctional people chasing various dreams in various ways. All mostly illegal. Some more illegal than others.

It's shot well, for Florida, and has some surprises. And has the prerequisite number of Florida "characters" that we try not to think about when we are faced with Florida. And alligators. What's a series in Florida without an alligator cameo?

What I wanted to know was, why did the eldest son have a heavy accent and no one else in the family did. That was never answered, so don't count on that.

Enjoy it for what it is - a summer fling.

I really liked this! I have no idea what the people who rated it low expected - maybe they thought it was meant to be a serious crime show? It's a dark comedy, not meant to be taking seriously.

I really enjoyed the 'Florida man' news stories throughout, so funny.

The actors did a great job, can't fault any of them. The story was new and fresh and fun. I was entertained the whole time. I liked the silliness of it, I laughed out loud a few times.

I love the Jason Bateman executive produced this show...it makes sense as it's the sort of humour I like.

If you want a fun, easy, bingeable show to watch that you don't need to take seriously then watch this.

The 7 part series display an effective batch of romantic crime thriller with a bit of drama conjugated by wistful turns and keeps you attached to the story and keeps you guessing to the end.

The veteran actor Anthony LaPaglia (Sonny Valentine) shows that he still got it, and is a perfect match for the character at the display. The superficially fidgety yet ambiguously deep love relationship between Edgar Ramirez (Mike Valentine) and Abbey Lee (Dell West) carries on the series.

Abbey Lee's acting debut was in George Miller's action film, Mad Max: Fury Road 2015. A role that put her on the map. In 2016, she played the lead role "Sarah" in the critically acclaimed Neon Demon, portraying a complex character with psychological issues, which cemented her acting range. And, it was the proof that she was much more than a beautiful photographic model.

She was rightly chosen to play Dell West, the most complicated character in the series with deeply hidden and somewhat combusting emotions. She's filled with underplayed fury and a will to survive in the world of gangsters. Her courage, love, distrust, and fragility are often on interchangeable.

It's good entertainment, has good acting, and is a fun watch.

This is a good series with good acting; a bit of dark humor; and a decent, engaging plot.

It is not an award-winning series and there are obvious and annoying flaws, such as the protagonist being the only member of his family to have a Spanish accent (also LaPaglia's occasional Aussie slips), and the conspicuous absence of Southern accents. I cannot comment on the Philly accent, but at least it seemed like something was trying to be accomplished there.

I thought that the portrayal of nationally understood "Florida" behaviors and characters was actually somewhat soft-balled. If anyone was offended, they might want to read more non-Fox/OANN news articles about both the state of FL and the world.
