Rubicon (2010)
A refreshing new TV show
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.

Great ending
One of the best scenes was the scene where he opens the safe for his last photo session without setting off the alarm and then the cleaning lady plugs in the missing fuse and sets off the alarm causing him to flee. One fault I could find in the film was when he opens the safe after the combination was changed. It seems that the new combination would not have been given to him. I also liked in an earlier part, he brings the countess a drink, then after he establishes "equality" with her, tells her to "bring him a drink" I don't think anyone could have guessed the ending. It came as a total surprise; counterfeit money; perfect
