Wonderful character development!
This is How Movies Should Be Made
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.
View MoreJust found it last night. Watched seven episodes. It's cancellation is much worse than even 'Firefly.' AStarkRedDeath said so many things that are spot on, I won't repeat. Suffice it to say, I'll be aboard any ship that sails toward Rubicon's revival.The actors are, for the most part, lesser know, but they are at the top of their craft here. The writing is thoughtful, insightful, and quite realistic to my own experiences. A few of the lines and scenes are absolutely perfect.Note: I do NOT usually take time to comment on such things, but Rubicon is worthy.Thank you for the opportunity to praise this series. And thanks to all the thoughtful comment providers. Would that my praise were as well-given as yours.
View MoreThis show was recommended by friends. For the love of a good spy thriller, conspiracy story and any type of detective show, I was in! After the first couple episodes, I was not drawn in like I wanted to be, but kept on with it. It is after all, only one season. (and now I know why.) About half way though the season, I couldn't believe they had "given away" so much information, I thought the finale would be a for sure spitfire.Although throughout the series, I could tell who was to trust and who not to trust. I knew there was something fishy with that artist girl, we all know the government has secrets, so what was the catch here? Certain characters, like Tanya for example, annoyed me to no end. There was so much focus on her, I figured she was in on something too and that's why she turned to drugs. No. she's just a drug addict who is confused and misguided.... how the hell did she get that job anyway? you have two phD's?? doubt that.The four leaf clover? Connect the dots? Terrorism? Nothing in the end was resolved and that's what made me dislike this entire season. Don't waste your time unless you are knew to spy thrillers. The Brits do it better in less amount of time.
View MoreThe show is dynamic and A.M.C. has made their biggest mistake ever! I can't say how angry I am to find out when coming to IMDb to see if there was going to be a second season and Smash... Nothing. A.M.C... I hate you. Bring Rubicon back, you had something good, bring it back!Characters are interesting and the plot is phenomenal. Although it has been stopped, please watch. This series will follow like Firefly, Doctor Who, or Star Trek. Never cancel a good show. Remember A.M.C., some people get their stuff online. Did you check to see the internet download rates? The torrents have more thumbs up than the average Dr. Who! I can't express enough how valuable this show really is and I want everyone to know. I want everyone to be angry at A.M.C. I want everyone to think about this show. And I certainly want everyone staying up late at night to watch re-runs of Rubicon.BTW... Rubicon is a reference to the Rubicon river, which Caligula 's army in 49 AD I believe crossed to go to a war. "Crossing the Rubicon" derives from this act and therefore means "to go with no return". Love the title!
View MoreAfter watching the 12th episode of this show, I found myself thinking just how good it is.I have to admit that it started slowly, but what seem to have been random actions or scenes have been woven into a deeply intriguing plot.I am a big fan of Breaking Bad and expected a lot from AMC on this one. I am not disappointed. This is one of my favorite shows and my favorite new show.The acting is very good and the scenes are very believable. The interior shots of their workplace are a great backdrop.There are a lot of characters, but each has its place in the plot. Each character is subtle but over time distinguishable from each other.
