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.
