Magic City (2012–2013)
7/10
Promising new "sopranos" with '60 style
8 July 2012
Just like most new show the first episode was not overwhelming. It was hard to get used to the 60's and all the new characters. Personally, I didn't liked it so much but kept watching for Jeffrey Dean Morgan because of his phenomenal performance in Greys Anatomy. (Later on Jeffrey fades away and all the attention is on Steven Strait ;))

But back to Magic city: It's a lot like Sopranos, a guy who just wants to make a earning for his lovely family. Even if it means to kill sometime. It's a lot like Sopranos but it is not Sopranos. Why? Because it all takes place in the roaring 60's with Frank Sinatra, upcoming gambling and still a real class difference.

The first episodes aren't that great, aren't that bad. If you just want to have one hour fun, rent a movie. This series is really forming a plot from episode one to....? So with every episode the story gets better and better. It's got great potential to be the next great Sopranos.
