It's Florida, Man

Being from my the UK we've heard that you can Google Florida man and on any day there's a crazy story. Although I've not done it personal, I do rel over my son showing me, hence why I was pretty much sold in giving it a go.

Then to see the names of cast, production I was and still am enthused to see the next crazy true story, being told but those people involved which helps you believe it's a true story because the comical reconstructions can make you forget that it's not just a story and that it really happened. I've only seen a few episodes but I have been raving about the show to anybody who'll hear me!

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.

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.

I'll admit, the show's premise is weird and dark, but it's packed with amazing comedic actors bringing these stories to life. As of right now the show has released one episode, but it's production value, set dec, and inclusion of the actual people involved in these crazy situations really has me champing at the bit for more!

It's Florida and we are inundated with crazy stories bc of the sunshine law, and I think some Floridians may hate this show, but ignore the negative reviews and get freaky with this great show. Any series or film that has Sam Richardson, Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, and Randall Park will be comedic glory.

If you have a weak stomach or an aversion to dark/blue humor i would say challenge yourself and try to engage, but it might not be for you.

After all it states it's a "Late Night" comedic series.

What a wild ride!!! "It's Florida, Man" is a rollercoaster of chaos, humor, and heart. From the very first episode, this show grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go. The eccentric characters, over-the-top scenarios, and biting social commentary make it a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh with a touch of truth.

What truly sets the show apart is how it balances absurdity with emotional depth. It's packed with outrageous moments that'll have you laughing out loud ... but it also takes a deeper dive into the human experience, exploring themes of identity, family, and redemption in a way that's surprisingly heartfelt.

The STACKED ensemble cast is fantastic! Each actor brings a unique charm to their character, making even the most outlandish scenes feel grounded in a bizarre, yet relatable reality. The writing is sharp, witty, and never afraid to push boundaries. It's fearless in its portrayal of the unique, sometimes ridiculous world that is Florida, but there's an undeniable warmth at its core.

Whether you're in it for the wild antics or the underlying emotional beats, this show delivers in spades. If you're looking for something fresh, funny, and utterly unpredictable, this show is a must-see!
