Florida Man Review Netflix

This series may not seem interesting at first glance, with an uncharismatic protagonist, but it may cause you to miss out on a dark comedy series. The show is written to play with the genre of dark comedy, with many characters that are like the Pulp Fiction version of a series. None of the characters know each other, but they all come across misfortune at the same time. Every character in this series has their own storyline, like Mike, a former police officer who left his job because of his gambling addiction. He returns to his hometown in Florida to search for  Delly, a mob boss’s girlfriend. However, he becomes enamored with her and unintentionally creates chaos along the way, such as stealing a gun from the sheriff’s deputy who happened to be vacationing there. The gun becomes a running joke that adds to the overall comedic of the show.

The story mixes in the search for a hidden $100 million gold coin property somewhere in Florida. It is a gold coin that comes from a debtor of a mafia godfather that Mike works for.However, in the past, Mike himself had seen the same coin in a fish’s belly that he caught with his father, turning this childhood dream into reality. The story involves many family secrets and a strained father-son relationship, causing Mike to flee from his Florida hometown since childhood. It is a heart-wrenching drama as the truth about the past slowly comes to light.


In addition to the search for the hidden $100 million gold coin in Florida, there is also a complex love triangle. Mike has an ex-wife who is a police officer investigating a murder case related to the mafia that Mike works for. She follows him to Florida and they still have feelings for each other. At the same time, Mike is in a new relationship with Delly, the girlfriend of the mafia boss he works for. However, he’s unsure if she’s using him to get the gold coin as a way to escape from the boss. This creates a romantic and mysterious story filled with love, deception, and the game of heart. The truth about whether it’s deception or real love will be revealed at the very end of the story.

The actors in this story seem to come together to play for the sake of stealing the scene throughout. Even the supporting characters all have their own hidden stories. For example, the two husbands who own the temporary rental room where Mike stays have their own secrets. Mike’s sister, who seems like a warm and caring family member, also has her own hidden secrets. The villainous godfather has a depth to his character beyond just being a typical villain. Each character in this story has their own memorable scene.

 

The story may seem very tangled with all the characters being involved in each other’s affairs, but in the end, everything is wrapped up nicely. Each character learns a lesson from their actions, making it a well-written story with attention to detail, without leaving anyone behind or forgotten.

Overall, this is a dark comedy series that may not look interesting from the outside. The protagonist’s appearance may not be charming, but believe it or not, this is a dark comedy story filled with thrilling games. The characters are all significant and interconnected with hilarious and unexpected situations. The series also weaves in stories of love and family relationships well. Moreover, it is a well-crafted mini-series that is beautifully wrapped up in just seven episodes.
