Magic City (Starz, tonight) Second Episode, Finally: This week on Mad Men/Boardwalk Empire in 1959 on a Starz Budget (obviously, Magic City was a shorter title), Stevie continues to bang a mobster’s wife, and law student Danny becomes a pawn in the DA’s attack on said mobster(s). ---Meanwhile, Dad/Don Draper stunt double Ike deals with the disappearance of Mike Strauss. None of this make sense? Don’t worry—it looks cool, and there’s plenty of nekkid ladies.
