CGiii Comment
Episode 1 has no CGiii content whatsoever...just a procession of vile characters.
All style, no substance, bare breasts and hackneyed dialogue, not the greatest of beginnings...
Think Mad Men colliding with The Sopranos...without the likeability factor...things will have to improve for this to continue...
Episode 2...Oooh there's a whiff of homosexuality in the air...but, alas, not enough to keep it interesting...
We watched no more. A series that ultimately failed to capture the hearts and minds of its audience.
Cancelled after 17 episodes.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
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, 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. By day the hotel at the center of 'Magic City' is all diving clown acts and cha-cha lessons by the pool, but at night Miami Beach reveals a darker truth. Dopers, dealers, strippers, gangsters and those who arrest them drift together to hear the top nightclub acts perform. Just beneath the surface, racial tensions stir. Ike must deal with all of this, even while global intrigue is brewing right under his roof.
