I enjoyed plenty about Florida Man thanks to the characters, even ones that barely belonged, like Deputy Barker, a vacationing cop who has plenty of misfortunes, played by Clark Gregg (who also directed some episodes). Broadly, the series appealed to me because of the lead characters' complex relationships, and the some supporting roles that were hard to predict in amusing ways. Several of the characters, lead and supporting roles, were laudably portrayed. I'm a fan of dramatic work by the star, Edgar Ramirez, and that drew me to the series.
Some acting/characters were weak, though, and that's not the only thing weak in the series. The writers seem to be clueless about guns, gun laws, gun shows, and in some areas, cops, too: There were some low spots in the approach to these things.
Seeing the series' title, there were predictably juvenile digs at the state of Florida - when they're sunny it's one thing, but a few were just vacuous, unfunny gestures. Viewers could have done without some of the unfunny ignorance.
It is a crime and comedy show, so some of the weaknesses seemed almost necessary, as such work is often stumbling in several ways in order to bring the laughs. This is no Breaking Bad, but is fairly light, mature entertainment.
I gave it a generous 7/10 stars. I found it worth my time, like a relative who invites questionable people over for dinner.
It's only on Netflix.
