New Show On Tap
I've fallen behind with my recent travels, but I am excited to start watching Rubicon which premiered a couple weeks ago on AMC before Mad Men. It should come as no surprise that AMC is looking to go 3 for 3 with their original series after huge success was found with Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
The level of marketing put into the show has been rather unsettling. I was intrigued from the beginning and could do without the constant reminders that the show is premiering this August ONLY ON AMC!
As far as the plot goes, Wikipedia breaks it down like this, "the series centers around an intelligence analyst at a national think tank who discovers that he may be working with members of a secret society that manipulates world events on a grand scale." After hearing that, I'm all in. It makes me think of the Da Vinci Code + Tom Clancy 'Jack Ryan ' novels which may not be accurate, but has me sold. The protagonist is played by James Badge Dale, who is capping off a great summer having already starring in the epic mini-series The Pacific. I believe he is a quality actor just waiting to break out.
AMC has staked a lot into this series and based on their track record I have to be excited. Rubicon has the potential to be a hit, but must keep the suspense and thrilling aspect of the show it's key. I'll report back once I've finished season 1. Keep on watching.
