TV show description:
This dramatic TV series takes place in 1959, shortly after the Cuban Revolution, and is set in Miami Beach.
Isaac “Ike” Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is the majority owner and boss of the Miramar Playa, Miami Beach’s premier resort. It’s a turbulent time in Miami, but it’s THE place to be. The Kennedys, the mob, and the CIA all hold court there.
Ike is the star of his hotel — but everything comes at a price. To finance his dream, he sold his soul to mob boss Ben “The Butcher” Diamond (Danny Huston). Ike’s second wife Vera (Olga Kurylenko), a former showgirl, and his three kids (Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, and Taylor Blackwell) think he’s an honorable man, but he can’t break his pact with the devil. His life is a façade.
In fact, nothing at the Miramar Playa is what it seems. By day, it’s diving clowns and cha-cha lessons. By night, escorts have secret liaisons with husbands in the family cabanas, while Miami’s seedier residents and the law drift together to hear legendary singers, musicians and comics. As his world threatens to implode, Ike fights for his family, and the Miramar Playa, in Magic City.
Episode #16 — The Sins of the Father
Ike and Ben’s future hangs on the outcome of the gambling bill. Klein weighs Ike’s offer to get The Butcher. Stevie and Lily face the end. Vera’s heart is broken.
First aired: August 9, 2013.
What do you think? Do you like the Magic City TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Please bring the show bacc for a 3rd season please. Great show
Loved magic city.please make season 3
Should return for at least season three.
I was born and raised in Miami and my father was a Miami Beach hotel bartender from about 1947 to 1954. The second series ended as if there was a third season planned, with the “Butcher” smiling as the DA, Klein, was confident that the Butcher was destined for life in prison.
Loved this show! Just fabulous!
This show seems like a movie, so elegant. I love it.
I stumbled upon the show, and couldn’t stop binge watching. It was utter perfection with crime, corruption, the struggle of Ike wanting good, and family. It was disappointing to see there is no season three. Such beautiful sets, and all kind of walks of life but not random, it all came together. I think the network made a mistake letting this show end. I can definitely hope another network picks it up. It left a feeling of its not over. I’ve told many friends who got into to it, only to feel disappointed that it’s over. Bravo to the creators… Read more »
great show, so disappointed that there are only two seasons. I only let myself watch one show at a time, but I know we will never know the ending.
One of the best series I have ever seen. Unbelievable set, fantastic acting, and a great compelling story- corruption of politics and the soul, sex, ambition, and family drama.
Very good series. Sad that it couldn’t finish out the story.
Loved Magic City ! Can not believe there were only two seasons.?please bring back more seasons.
Fantastic series. Should definitely be renewed for more seasons
