I'll wait until the proper premiere on August 1 to give Rubicon a full review, but here are my quick thoughts on the sneak peak which aired last night after the season finale of Breaking Bad.
I like the look at feel of the show, but the episode dragged on without much happening. It felt like a slower version of Damages. The conspiracy stuff was all shrouded in mysterious cliches and didn't have me intrigued or excited. James Badge Dale who was fantastic on The Pacific does an excellent job. It's too earlier to tell whether the show will be successful. It'll be largely dependent on whether the blatant symbolism with the clover and chess can become more subtle.
