The same man who created NBC’s ‘This is Us’, Donald Todd has written and created the show, which makes it a must-watch show.

What is The Plot of Florida Man?
If we try to put the plot of Netflix’s Florida Man in simple words, we would say that this show is a story about an ex-cop turned gambling addict who owes a shit-ton of money to a gangster is forced to return to his home state, Florida when the gangster’s girlfriend goes missing.
Well, well, well. The story is not so simple though. There are twists and turns at every other moment. For starters, our hero was involved with the gangster’s girlfriend. When he learns that the girlfriend, doesn’t want to be found, he is forced to shake hands with a former convict and his father, Sonny Valentine to find her. And…when he really finds her she tells her “We Are Talking About 100 Million Dollars”.
