I watched every episode. The series began with promise, filled-in the gaps along the way with great acting and plot twists, and ended the season with real edge-of-your-seat excitement. Those who need electric soundtracks, chase scenes, and over-the-top pseudo-excitement will likely not like "Rubicon". Those who prefer intelligence, depth, fascinating characters, terrific acting, and a great plot will be entertained and enthralled. It will be a crime if Rubicon is not brought back for another season!
What makes "Rubicon" so interesting is the cast. In this government agency, you meet characters ranging from obvious spies (Kale, and other shadowy characters), to brilliant eggheads and code breakers (Will, David, Miles, Ed), to others were not exactly sure what they really are (Maggie, Tanya, Will's neighbor, and more). As the season progressed we learned a lot more about most, and very little about others. Some are exactly what we thought they would be, and others are far different. There are MANY layers to these various onions! Add in a pinch of intrigue... and in a post 9/11 world it all makes for a great TV show.
