Hi
I watched the first episode of Florida Man on NF.. the thumbnail promo had shown Clark Gregg, so I was looking forward to him starring in this. nope.
By the second episode I had identified the problem with this show.. Edgar Ramirez.
Everyone else were putting in competent performances, Abbey Lee was a little shaky in the first episode but by the second she was really taking her stride with this little bit of fluff part and was acting the flip out it! respect.
I could tell Mr. Ramirez was really struggling to act in English.. I don't know if he is or isn't a good actor in Spanish, but I saw how poor and unengaging he was in English. It felt like he was a drama student with their first performance.
The plot was often over contrived for no reason.. If they had done this properly, they could have done it out of order and so made it a pulp fiction.. as this show so badly wanted to be a detective noir, both these would have fit together nicely if the writer/s were talented enough.
But what we got was meandering mess with no real direction.
Or if not a pulp.. throw in some decent music direction and the first two episodes could have been one, anything montage like to end the monotony of Mr. Ramirez's acting and the poor plot writing.
So.. I'm not going to finish episode 3.. I feel so guilty for reviewing something without seeing as a complete work.. giving those artists a chance to redeem themselves, like Ms. Lee did in the second episode. But I just can't force myself.. I can't do that to myself to watch more of Mr. Ramierez's 'non-acting'.
