In this case it's an aligator on meth.
That right there should be a clue that this episodes isn't playing straight or serious.
Some characters out stay their welcome, some characters are so wooly it's more annoying than funny and or cringe.
I also feel like natasha is somewhat phoning it in ? Unless she's going for the 'less is more' vibe, but she seems thinner than before, her hand shakes and the vape ?
Not sure what to make of the choice to remove the season threat, and the over reliance on suspension of disbelief.
Still funny but it was missing someone jumping over a shark.
Hope for better :)

This episode was just silly, and not in a fun way. Though of course many of these murders are over the top and theatrical, this one was just outright absurd. There were too many leaps in logic, a lack of cleverness and an unsatisfying resolution. I understand the "Florida Man" is a funny meme, but it's a whole other thing to make that the premise of an entire episode
Despite the frankly bad writing for this episode, Natasha still did a great job and the rest of the cast did as well. There's just something missing this season that I'm waiting for. The overarching plot is in a weird grey area and they're not doing enough to spark intrigue into the rest of the season.

Audience members need to suspend and reality and enjoy this episode. Yes, it is really stupid. I believe that is the point... Besides, Florida really is that crazy. I was laughing out loud the entire episode. It is so bonkers and clearly not believable. Half of the episodes in this show aren't believable. I feel like sometimes you need to imagine it as a cartoon. No one would question this if it was animated.
I am really enjoying season two so far. This episode was just as strong as a previous episode. Charlie is one of the best characters on television, and we, as an audience, should be thankful for this silly goofy comedic episode.

Expecting a few down votes for this review, but I found this episode to be very silly, not particularly clever and didn't move the overall story forwards.
I'm a huge fan of standalone episodes, but this is a weak one. It took about 20 minutes to get to the start of the episode, which turned Charlie had AGAIN coincidentally stumbled onto a murder. But this time her lie detecting 'power' was barely utilised.
The guest characters were caricatures, a spiritual alligator for some reason and I half expected to hear the Benny Hill song in some sequences. It was all just a little silly.
Natasha Lyonne was her usual effortless self, and she remains such an interesting character, but we're 4 episodes in and not much has progressed.

This episode was hilarious and I'm pretty sure the bad reviews are from Floridians who have no sense of humor. Maybe it hit too close to home?
I have enjoyed every episode of Poker Face so far and this one did not disappoint. I truly enjoyed "good buddy" and Daisy! Stereotypes develop for a reason and Florida is no different. Just seems many Floridians are overly sensitive, or at least those that leave reviews are. I have visited Florida and it is beautiful but yes, there are some characters there, just like any other state.
Yes, this episode is a little more silly than the previous ones, but it is still excellent. Natasha Lyonne's is her usual excellent self as are the other actors.

- TriviaThe band playing the first award show is called Yolo Tomassi And The Rude Boys In Blue. The name is a parody of a famous line from L.A. Confidential (1997) (1997) in which Kevin Spacey's character utters the name Rollo Tomassi as he is dying to his corrupt captain in order to trick him into exposing his guilt.
- GoofsThere is no external CB radio antenna on Charlie's car, yet she is able to both transmit and receive. Without an antenna, she would need to be talking to someone literally within earshot.
