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?
I want Magic City to be renewed. That was a great TV show. The scriptwriters did a terrific job with the conversations and the acting was superb
Maybe the goofs at Starz whomever is in charge of shows should have their contracts cancelled. They didn’t give the show time to express itself!
Oh well, I guess I can cancel starz now.
I loved Magic City. I have been trying to find it everywhere. The first year I watched it on Cinemax. The next year Starz. Now that it’s cancelled, so will my Starz be. That’s the only reason I kept it. Bring back Magic City!!!
renew. love this show
Miss the show very much…One of our favorites . Nothing keeps us watching anymore,will probably cancel movie channels inc, stars.
I was also waiting for third season of Magic City. It was such a wonder idea with all the great old cars and beautiful ladies all dressed up. Not sure about keeping starz yet.
REALLY…
Cancelled? All of this time I’m waiting for the new season, paying for Starz, and they cancelled Magic City, are they crazy?
I’m canceling Starz, Magic City was the only reason I kept paying for it!
I was also waiting for the return of Magic City what a great show this was and they left us hanging. I have already cancelled STARZ. This was the best show they had on the air.
I can’t believe they cancelled magic city. I will be dropping stars.
I was very disappointed when I learned Starz canceled Magic City. I thoroughly enjoyed that show. The reason I keep my premium channels is for the original programming, it’s certainly not for the movies that they repeat endlessly. Please bring Magic City back.
Hard to believe they take off all the good ones!
ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS EVER! LOVED MAGIC CITY. STARZ OR SHOWTIME OR SOMEONE NEEDS TO BRING BACK THIS SHOW FOR SEASON 3, 4, 5, 6, ON AND ON. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting for it to start! I can not believe they did not have enough viewers the show was wonderful and different then most nightly soaps! Maybe local network will pick up!!
what a shame i really liked this series why was it cancelled
I was looking soooo forward to the
Third season. I am extremely
Disappointed and do not understand
Why. Just like the third season
for The Borgias was cancelled and
also upset!
I am so upset that Starz cancelled Magic City. I have been waiting all these months for it to come back. What is wrong with Starz!
