Rubicon

Watched this after a caller mentioned it on today's show and thought it was pretty interesting. The main guy was on The Pacific as Bob Lackey, i don't know what his name is but he was really good on that show so it peaked my interest. Parts of the pilot me a bit of jake gyllenhal's character in zodiac and a little bit of the lone gunmen from the x-files. Thoughts?

I tried it. The Pilot as a double episode = 2 hours. I gave up after an hour and 10 minutes.
Not critisizing the show...im just spoiled by LOST, 24, FlashForward, Heroes etc...and this show was just tooooo slow for me. Way to chatty.
Could be my attention deficits...

Looking forward to THE EVENT....which i think will be geared to simpletons like me.

the pace was perfect for me. I enjoyed it immensely.

Series wrapped up tonight. I agree with Paul O on this (how does that happen?). :wink:

The show did develop slowly (and somewhat cerebrally) but if you were willing to let it play at its own speed it was really rewarding. If you remember and are a fan of the old John LeCarre/George Smiley novels and PBS series then you'll enjoy this. Based on the (lack of) ratings and heat generated by the show this might be a one & done situation but it is self-contained and worthwhile enough to track it down in the aftermarket (Netflix, dvds, et al.)

Loved this show.

Probably a top-5 series for me right now. Certainly better than everything on network TV.
