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?
Oh please please renew Magic City , please
I love that show please bring it back
I loved the two seasons I watched and could hardly wait for season 3 because you could tell it was being continued. Love the settings the hotel the cars the clothes the attitudes the mob. It was all just fantastic then they tied in Cuba and that was a cherry on top. It was also educational and super exciting. Bring it back.
Shame that it’s cancelled. Really enjoyed the two seasons!
Show fantastic wish it wasn’t cancelled sure wish you’d come back love the gangsters and everything great show
Wish it was not cancelled
Just found Magic city watched both seasons in 2 weekends cant believe that’s it this show should have went on for years
I just discovered Magic City and binged watched the first two seasons! LOVED IT. I cant believe it was canceled. WHY? It was great! Sexy, drama, Love Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) Smokin Hot!
Magic City stole my heart… Each character study had unique depth and integrity of a real life dynamics… second only to few if any among recent productions such as True Detective Season One… These two series have raised the bar of viewer engagement in quality television and will be difficult to exceed in future. True Detective is in the genre of Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro,, Corrupt with Harvey Keitel and John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) and Birdman with Michael Keaton, as is Magic City… I am looking forward to the movie I understand is under production… Jeffery Dean Morgan… Read more »
I LOVED Magic City and WANT MORE! I wish it wasn’t cancelled.
was a great show, so sorry to hear it was cancelled, I hope some other network picks it up.
It was a fantastic show and should have gone on and on
Just watched the second to last episode of Mgiac City. I cannot believe this show was not renewed! It is fantastic!!! Such crap on TV and they don’t renew this?. Unbelievable!
Great show. Great time in history. Let’s cancel it and create another reality show of challenged housewives. We wonder why society is going down the tubes? Watch those nasty a-sed broads and it will become very clear. Ron T.
