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?
Great series with Ike’s son and the Butcher getting set up to create good conflict with Ike.
Too bad execs did not renew because this was a winner in my thinking.
I hated to see it cancelled, it was a great series. There should be at least a final two hour episode as a finale.
Please bring back Ike and the gang. Best series I’ve watched in years.
Sad to hear it’s not renewed. I loved it. Great style. More interesting than Mad Men.
Renew..period. excellent series.

Wow! I can’t believe that this show was cancelled. I stumbled upon it due to my crush on Steven Strait. I’m so happy that I did because this show has it all. I watched both seasons within the last two days. Bring it back.
