LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: No one ever thought they would see a time when a streaming platform like Netflix would come forward with a series based on a viral meme. But the streamer has surprised us by producing a series that is based on the viral “Florida Man” memes that took the nation by storm in 2013. Titled ‘Florida Man’, the series dives deeper into the criminal world of Florida and is much bigger than the memes that were doing around.

The series primarily focuses on an ex-cop named Mike Valentine (Edgar Ramirez) who is now working for a Philly mobster because of a huge debt. However, things turn upside when the mobster’s girlfriend runs away in her BMW and starts living in Florida. Valentine, who was born and raised in Florida, is sent to his home state in order to bring the mobster’s girlfriend back. If Valentine is successful in doing so, he gets his freedom back. However, things start to go downhill when he gets entangled in a lot of weird things.

The series does good work in keeping the viewers hooked to their screens, but it’s the last two episodes that take ‘Florida Man’ to a whole new level. It is an entertaining series that works because of its strong performances, especially Ramirez.

One of the fans wrote, “#FloridaMan is so good…I want to wrap it up in a @HEB butter tortilla, with some @HerdezBrand guacamole salsa.” Another social media user tweeted, “Watching 'Florida Man' on Netflix. Oh, the allure of gold : ) Great idea with the gift certificates!” Another fan noted, “Four episodes in, I'm enjoying #FloridaMan on Netflix. It's a crime story with a lot of humor, and it definitely evokes #Orlando and its environments.” Another social media user wrote, “These Three. Go watch it now on Netflix. Abbey & Edgar just absolutely killed it in this mini-series. Clark was hilarious and truly brought the show together when it needed to have comic relief.”
