Magic City: Season 2 [Blu-ray]
A**R
Great actors and beautifully recreated mid century modern and authentic Miami Art deco styles.
Beside the actors who are all so amazing , the other stars of this show are the cars. It is mid century modern and Miami Art deco America in all their splendour. The male lead is breathtaking and after this, you just want to watch everything he has ever acted in. The story follows the running of a Miami Hotel and all its intrigues (sex, murder, corruption, etc) at a time when the Cuban Revolution was taking place.

Too bad it's the last
I don't like this show as much as my favorites, Mad Men and the Walking Dead, but I think it deserved more than 2 seasons. It's one of those shows that has a very loyal but small fan base. The end of the season brings enough closure to make me feel satisfied but left just enough open so there was room to move on if Starz decided to let them put out another season. The case for the DVDs if well crafted and if you already own the 1st season you should know what to expect. I did feel like the Special Features were lacking. Knowing that it was probably going to be the last season when they released the DVDs it would've been nice to have some of the actors and crew reflections on the show. There was a little bit of that but not in a 'well, it was great while it lasted and this is what it meant to me' kind of way.

If I like a dramatic series, you can count on it being cancelled!
"Deadwood," "Boss," "The Borgias," and now "Magic City" make up my list of favorite dramatic shows of mine that were all ended prematurely. At least the producers of "Breaking Bad," and "Six Feet Under" knew ahead of time how long their shows would run so that the audience was left with a satisfying ending. On the other hand, as evidenced by the unpopular final episodes of "The Sopranos" and "Dexter," knowing that a particular season will be the last one may not always be a good thing. Let's just hope that we get a decent conclusion for "Sons of Anarchy" next season and whenever the powers that be decided that "Mad Men" has run its course.

Gets better each episode
This season had some unexpected twists and turns, so I hate that the show got cancelled. We'll now have to use our imaginations to explore how the storyline might have played out. SPOILER ALERT: I was intrigued by Danny and Judi Silver's budding relationship, and I wanted to see how Ike was going to handle his frisky sister-in-law (or former sister-in-law depending on how you look at it). What I didn't want to see was Ike's wife, Vera, fall into bed with Stevie. I just think the whole sleeping with your step-son thing is low and gross. Other than that, I thought the story was getting more interesting overall, and I was becoming more invested in the characters. It's a shame that it got the ax, but that's life.

Great Series
This is a great series. The drama takes place in Miami just as Castro was coming to power.Very absorbing plot lines, concerning crime, politics, and family relationships, as well as interesting, well acted characters. I particularly enjoyed some of the ancillary characters including Elena Satine, as a hooker and Jessica Marais as the tormented wife of arch gangster Ben Diamond. Michael Rispoli and James Cenatiempo were also notable as henchmen for the main characters, Ben Diamond and Ike Evans.This is a series that I did not want to end-unfortunately it has ended after only two seasons. If Starz had promoted it better it would have been a run away hit. I hope they reconsider-it really is that good.

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!!!
I think its a Starz ' thing"to get you hooked on something, then end it after two seasons. This series is incredible and leaves you wanting to see more. I have both season one and two and for all the "Godfather, mob,etc" fans, this one is right up there!!! You cant pass this one by. I want to sit and " power watch" it but I know its the last season so Im stretching it out so it lasts longer . Its definitely not for the easily schocked and I guarantee you will be glued to the tv with this one. Its most definitely a keeper!!!!

Magical!
MADMEN meets The Sopranos and everybodys Breaking Bad! A truly great show. I just finished the second season and I can't believe that I have to wait an entire year for the third. One of the best shows to ever hit the screen. They capture the feel and splendor of old Miami and transport you back to a time when even innocence was decadent. Superb writing, brilliant acting and scenes that make you wish you could go back in time to the days when having fun in the sun wasn't just for the Beach Blanket Bingo crowd.
