The AMC drama
Rubicon is a conspiracy thriller that is more cerebral than action-packed. Early episodes unwind at their own deliberate pace as intelligence analyst Will Travers discovers that something is amiss at the government agency where he works and struggles to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The series also presents a realistic look at government intelligence work and the difficulties of deciphering the end game of seemingly unrelated events.
Rubicon is thus a masterful combination of connect-the-dots mystery and cat-and-mouse suspense, with in-depth characters that bring the narrative to life in a believable fashion. Viewers expecting a roller coaster action piece featuring guns a-blazing may be disappointed, but
Rubicon’s smart and savvy stylings make the series gripping nonetheless and raise the level of intelligent, quality television to even greater heights.
