Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

stardustcreations I am more than disappointed to learn that this film series was not continued - I've been watching foreign films for the most part starting with the original "Wallander" and so many others however - while late in discovering this film I agree, most thrillers/espionage esp films done in USA are so - unreal and disappointing that I'd given up till watching, RUBICON -- ! What a great film, the entire cast is outstanding and I know that Miranda R is deceased now - what a loss to the world ! However, the other actors are the BEST I've seen as long as I can remember and I just can hardly believe it that AMC would have not only continued this but even that "Hollywood" or someone - didn't make a real movie with all this cast and storyline. What about Robert Redford, has he seen this ….?! Someone should is all I can say and I've left a note for Amazon to alert me if this is soon in production. Till then I will chase down the actors to see what else they have done….however, it's TOGETHER that makes this one of the very best films I've seen and a 5 star for sure winner. Thank You !

dromasca I like detective or spy stories, but only those with soul and brains, and unfortunately there are not too many. I do not like conspiracy theories but I recognize that they make great thriller and action movies stuff – X-Files (arguably the best science-fiction series in the history of television) included. Rubicon is a combination of the two themes in the right ratio and is the best TV show I have seen in Israel this year. Unfortunately it was produced by a smaller American TV network, and did not enjoy the rating success that would allow it to survive more than one season. It happens unfortunately too often lately with shows I like – definitely my taste is not in tune with the one of the American mainstream viewers.The detective theme of 'Rubicon' centers within a Manhattan based spy agency, one of the many which seem to divide in pieces of puzzle the American spying and counter-terrorism system. It's employees are not supermen or action people, but smart bureaucrats or analysts as they call them nowadays, they do not call the president on daily (or weekly episode basis) as in '24′ and if and when they carry a gun they do it with the same tremor as you and me would do it. They are usual people who deal however with the same global terrorism threats as 24′s Jack Bauer did, and they are pray to the same pressures as the CTU, or even larger, fighting not only the enemy out there but also a malefic conspiracy of riches trying to manipulate the whole world. Their position is much worse however, as the corruption seems to have infiltrated to the higher echelons of the reporting line. As in the best novels and movies of the spy genre (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy comes immediately to mind) nobody can trust anybody in the organization, and the corridors of the building as well as its outskirts are permanently infested with surveillance cameras, electronic bugs and suspicious eyes.The best part lies however in the characters building. If the spy intrigue remains sometimes cloudy and murky we do not care as much because we have real human that build themselves beautifully on the screen. The series starts with a new boss nominated to the team Will Travers (James Badge Dale) who replaces the former team leader who apparently committed suicide, deals with all the conflicts and will pay the price of trying to do the right thing. His boss Kale Ingram (Arlis Howard) happens to be gay, so he may be the good guy (one of the more recent stereotypes in American cinema and TV scripts) but who knows in this suspicion filled atmosphere. Assistant Maggie (Jessica Collins) and smart but drugs addicted analyst Tanya (Lauren Hodges) fight each their own daemons. There are more characters, and each of them is clearly and carefully designed and by the time the series end we care for all and understand their motivations. More than a spy drama 'Rubicon' is a psychological thriller and maybe exactly the qualities that I appreciate in the series are not the ones that broader audiences attracted by the more immediate striking emotions in action series are used to. I feel to be in complete divorce with the mainstream taste that dictated 'Rubicon' to be terminated.

David Sherefkin It was a very short run , I found this slow moving and thoughtful show to be gripping ... I couldn't wait to see what happened next to the Hero , I guess if TV shows don't offend my intelligence they are DOA !I understand that ratings are important but for *** sakes can't we have one show , especially one that is about a subject so relevant to us today (Terrorism) , on the Air for at least two seasons ?I will conclude with this quote from Edward R. Murrow's 1958 speech :"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires and lights in a box. "

ronaldseto I've watched all episodes of Rubicon and find it a welcome addition to our TV viewing. It is a thought provoking series, engrossing, low key and it keeps the viewer in suspense. It is the type of mystery that may not appeal to everyone. The list of characters although unknown by name to most viewers, have been well cast in their parts. These are people one can relate to in the real world. There are not the usual chase or shock value scenes that are common in many of today's TV thrillers, but never-the-less it is a refreshing departure from the garden variety TV shows. I congratulate the producers of this show for giving us food for our minds and also for their willingness to take a chance on a show that may not appeal to certain segments of our TV audience. I just hope Rubicon will continue with new episodes for a long time to come. I now have something to look forward to come Sunday. I think the one episode per week format is a problem. I for one find it difficult to wait an entire week to see more. Maybe a new episode every 3 days might keep the audience faithful.
