Review of Rubicon

Rubicon (2010)
10/10
The greatest always lives short
23 September 2011
Either it is some curse or whatever, but the best of the shows on TV don't live long. There are many great TV shows alive, many died long time ago, but rarely some of them live for more than a a season or two, except some of them even 4 or 6 or 9. I say 4 season per show is OK, 5 even more beautiful, 6 magnificent, but some of them that deserves more of it regarding applause from audience ends after first. Why? Then I made a short survey, and of course it is because of some profit from number of viewers. But then is that really true?

Let's put aside that. Rubicon is one of the unique TV shows with its theme. The quality in complete is not questionable, and it reminds me on movie like it is "3 Days of Condor" for example. The other day I watched "Page Eight" and it reminds me on this show. But that is my impression.

Even this show had no explosive plot, its slow yet clever plot put as inside the story in fine way. And it is a great mysterious thriller. I liked how authors of the show presents us that behind the scene life, and how they developed tension. Any when it came to its crescendo they cancel it.

It is really a pity, and it takes some time to put my anger aside. Well that is life and that is production companies politic. As Rubicon breath more as a movie than TV show I put it in my film library as one great long running movie.
