A suffering ex-cop named Mike (Edgar Ramírez) is coerced into returning to his home state of Florida to discover a Philly mobster's runaway female friend, Delly West (Abbey Lee), in Netflix's Florida Man. But the prospect of clearing his gambling debts with the mobster is not Mike's most effective problem in the restricted sequence. With buried circle of relatives secrets and techniques, a steamy rollercoaster affair with Delly, and a life-threatening treasure hunt afoot, Mike finds that the Sunshine State stays just as he left it: wildly unpredictable.
In an unique interview with Distractify, Florida Man star Edgar Ramírez opened up about Mike confronting his previous, together with the difficult courting the personality has together with his father, how the hunt for gold takes on a metaphorical meaning, and that wonder ending.
Netflix's 'Florida Man' ending explained — Edgar Ramírez on the show's metaphorical meaning.
Mike initially thinks that Delly double-crossed him after he overhears a personal conversation between her and her mobster boyfriend Moss (Emory Cohen), by which she says that she used to be "playing" Mike in hopes of discovering the gold. When Moss tries to kill Mike after learning that the gold isn't in the truck, Delly shoots and kills Moss.
In hopes of starting a brand new existence together, Delly tells Mike that she has to go away Florida and he or she wants him to come together with her. However, Mike comes to a decision that operating away again isn't an choice and makes a decision to stay in Florida to check in on his ex-wife who was shot and severely injured in the crossfire.
Weeks later, Mike visits his dad Sonny (Anthony LaPaglia), who used to be imprisoned for being a filthy cop. Mike has deep-rooted problems towards his dad after his mother died through suicide the usage of his dad's gun when he was simply a young person.
"His entire life has been devoted to being different from his dad, you know, and in that that urge to be different comes from the fact that he has never been able to take the time to try to understand his dad and to try to understand that what happened at the heart of their family [...] shaped everyone's behavior and affected everyone," Edgar explained.
Mike confronts Sonny in jail and confirms his suspicions that his dad was the one who stole the gold from him. Sonny tells Mike that he stole the gold now not so he could take advantage of it, but so Mike would keep in Florida and no longer run off once more.
"Mike was the gold [for Sonny]," Edgar advised us. "What I love about the show is that the gold is a metaphor of what is important for each character in the show."
"So he was ready to steal this gold and store it somewhere so that he could keep the real golden object, which is his son, he wanted his son to be close," the actor persisted. "And he knew that the only way for him to keep him close was to do the thing that he did."
The series concludes with Mike deciding that Delly is his real treasure in existence and comes to a decision to track her down. When he reveals the boat she's been on, Mike to begin with sees empty bins, revealing that the gold is now in her possession. Mike thinks that Delly took off with the gold, but unearths a secret compartment underneath the mattress that finds the treasure.
Delly comes down the steps and asks if Mike is here for her or for the gold. Florida Man ends with Mike taking a look up at her and smiling.
"The gold is the metaphor for all the things that we need, or that we think that we need to be happy, you know, and so there's a lot of different ways to look at the show," Edgar advised us. "I love the fact that that there is a chance for everyone to give their own meaning to what gold is, their own meaning to what family ties are, their own meaning to what humor represents in your life. So I love how, how multilayer the show is."
