Rubicon
As the quality of network television continues to deteriorate, hour long cable dramas are only getting better. Networks like FX and AMC (and to an extent SyFy) are producing simply great television, and with the combination of low show budgets and a little courage to trust real creative forces, they show no signs of letting up.
A series looking to continue the cable winning streak is Rubicon. I know nothing about it except the trailer below and a short Ain’t It Cool News article. But I love anything having to do with conspiracies, secret societies, and government cover-ups. And while a show dealing with this kind of subject matter has the potential to be very, very bad, I still am very interested.
With Lost having shriveled up and died, maybe this could quench some of the thirst for a good, slow burning mystery. This first episode will air this Sunday (6/13) at 11 PM on AMC right after the finale of “Breaking Bad.” The series will then officially launch on August 1st.
I sincerely hopes it’s amazing. Check out the trailer:
