Magic City

Anyone watch this new show on Starz? So far....so good.




"Magic City, a series set in a fictional Miami Beach hotel in the late 1950s -- when the Rat Pack played and Fidel Castro took power in Cuba. As Frank Sinatra rings in a new year in the grand ballroom of Miami Beach's most luxurious dream palace - the Miramar Hotel - its visionary leader, Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), must deal with the Mob, his complicated family and a city in the midst of dramatic change as Fidel Castro takes control of Cuba, just 200 miles offshore."

My MIL's husband watched it and said it was very good. I keep meaning to see it, but never remember when it's on. I should try and catch it on Starz On Demand.

Ok, three episodes in and now I am really really hooked. The story line is really starting to evolve and the casting is excellent! Danny Huston who does an excellent job in his role as mobster Ben Diamond is slowly developing his character into the type that you just love to despise.





This show definitely has the potential to be one of the top shows on premium television.

Thanks for the heads-up! Will check it out...

Just saw the first few episodes, it is pretty good.

Guys - I have watched all current 7 episodes and can tell you it is very good. I was skeptical at first but this show has won me over. Not sure how many episodes they have made for season 1 but I sure hope it is picked up for a season 2! Good stuff - I highly recommend this series.

They just wrapped up the first season last night - only 9 episodes in all. Season 2 starts some time in 2013. Give this series a look, guys. I think most Sopranos fans will enjoy it very much.

We need it in the UK pronto
