How about that Magic City season finale? The little premium cable show that could (the one about our fair city, anyway) wrapped up quite nicely, by which we mean everyone is miserable. Good job, very dramatic. Sure the Miramar may be saved by its new investor Meg, but can it…

Let us begin by saying we are whip-smart, college-educated smartypantses. But damn, do we love ourselves some reality television. Keeping Up With the Kardashians? You betcha. The Amazing Race? We have never missed a season. And if the program happens to take place in Miami, you can bet your 305…
