It's Florida, Man

I just finished watching "It's Florida, Man", and wow, what a ride! This series perfectly captures the wild spirit of Florida, showcasing the strange and wonderful stories that seem to spring up around every corner.

The humor is spot-on, often making me laugh out loud at the outrageous situations people find themselves in. But what really impressed me was how the show balances the quirky antics with genuine, heartfelt moments. It dives deep into the lives of the folks featured, reminding us that behind every headline is a real person with a story to tell.

The visuals are stunning, too! Florida's beautiful landscapes provide a vibrant backdrop that enhances every story. You can really feel the warmth and character of the state shining through.

I am not from Florida and in fact intentionally avoid it, but there is something about people from the Southeastern United States and their unabashed love of telling "big fish" tales of eccentric adventures which are...mostly true...that resonates. This is one of the most recognizable cultural markers of the Old South spanning back to early 20th century Southern Gothic literature.

Here, individuals of this story telling persuasion have the opportunity to unburden their soul or just humble-brag while real Hollywood actors re-enact the story lines with intentional comedy.

The Gator Man is totally awesome.

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 your in the mood for weird its perfect. Anyone curious about all those real life Florida Man news stories should enjoy this show.

I do have to mention the Mermaid episode seems misplaced from the other episodes and I absolutely could not watch the whole of it. Hopefully going forward that is the worst episode offered in terms of interesting stories.

The recreation of the scenes is done well with the random actors in the other episodes and Kudos to the director for putting this together. I hope it gets the green light for future seasons. The gator episode was my husband and Is favorite episode so far unexpected and unique is the perfect combo.

I meant to watch when released nice that there's currently 3 episodes it seems IMDb doesn't update upcoming ones anymore. It's Florida Man is quite wild, goofy, and a little bit of horror vibes unexpected from HBO I love it though! Reminds me of Room 104 that series was full of bizarre stuff mashed in different creators; it's a lovely mix of screwball behavior and a little bit of mtv reality style with better directing. Breaking the 4th wall is nicely captivating/intriguing great how there's true stuff with entertainment value awesome how actors play alternate versions of characters that look fairly similar. I understand the ratings it's a little cheesy yet awesomeness!
