Brave-Traveler.asf (Brave_TraveIor) if their were a television genie and i could grant 3 TV shows back to life after being canceled, magic city would be one. It still boggles my mine why Starz let this gem shut down far too soon when it was hitting its stride. After a magnificent first season the second improved vastly and focused more on the Chicago mob and having the casino vote in Ike Evans hotel. Stevie went under Ben Diamonds wing unaware that he watched atop the one-way glass atop the ceiling while he and Lilly slept with each other. Danny stayed in the DAs office while his father was still being investigated and Ike's wife went back to her roots dancing while jealous that Ike was getting closer to Meg claiming her using business as a excuse. James Caan was great as the Boss of the Chicago family sent to Miami with a nice back story tied to Ike's father. As much as i loved the casting for this show Ben diamond was perfectly casted and brilliantly acted. This show had the I cant wait for the next episode factor. Its entirely addicting and absolutely binge worthy. I wish it went on longer it truly was magic and beautiful TV and escapism.

redbellypig I wasn't going to write anything but I turned on episode 4 and within the first 5 minutes I was baffled by the stupidity. ******SPOILER ********** As the DA officer and police are leaving with the body from the temple Issac stops them to spout some stupid comments and then his son tells them they should leave now. They were leaving. Then Isaak proceeds to chase after them. Pointless reactions. a tiny example of the needless scenes concerning a very unbelievable hotel owner who is so kind he only wants to pay his respects to his best friend who tried to close down his multimillion$ hotel. The same best friend he asked The Butcher to speak to and who wound up missing the same day. Are we to believe Isaak is so freaking stupid. The lead actor was great in Supernatural but he comes across as a the furnace maintenance man and not the cabana boy who built up a multi million dollar hotel from nothing. Then the whole scene in episode 3 where the kid is handed $5000 and he acts like it happens everyday. 1959 $5000 was equivalent to $40000 today. Not an amount to be so nonchalant about. I mean if someone handed me $5000 in 1959 I would leave the state...he would never had been found. I could go on and on but I feel stupid for ranting about the stupidity of a show that looks so cool.

njs0515 This show is a must see show. After a good first season, they really put the writer's to the test. It appears to have more story but nonetheless this show will entertain you. It's set in Miami Beach in the late 50s and around the time of Castro's overthrow of Cuba. I just love the way that the show it filmed, nice and bright and really makes you wish things today were more like they were back in the 50's. It has mystery, gangster, gambling, political corruption, action, drama, sexiness, and all other things that makes this a great world. :) Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Danny Huston really do a great job, as well as Olga Kurylenko adding her bit of flash. It's beautiful people in a beautiful place with ugly behind the scenes happenings that keep the Miramar Playa afloat in a Vegas-like way

lorenk2008 Again shear curiosity got me to watch someone I normally avoid. Wish I did. way too much nudity so the guys must be in heaven. who'd say no to that show. Everyone is way too pretty. It lacks any substance what so ever and I am also shocked anyone likes this show. I do hear James Cahn is joining...if so I may watch it. If anyone can save a show he can. as it stands the show seems to be completely miscast. I feel Jeffrey Dean Morgan is very wishy washy for some mobster who kills people. Stephen Strait. Loved him in the covenant. So that's the reason I watched it but so much womanizing on this show its degrading. I only watched two episodes out of shear boredom and decided it wasn't worth my time but this show isn't going to attract female viewers for long. Morgan who is usually very good at being the bad guy should be the bad guy. I forget who plays the actual SOB but those two should have been reversed. Probably they did it based on looks and who'd pull off being Stephen straits father better but it was a poor choice. Morgan would have done much better as he does mean better. As I said I hear JC is coming on as well as a few others from the godfather which will pull this show out of Morgans hands honestly. I'm not a JDM fan by any means but I think he can do better and deserves better. He could leave and the show would go on. Or they could have him do what he does best and not waste him.
