AMC's espionage thriller "Rubicon" is the latest drama to hit the small screen this summer. Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly Magazine filed the following review.

Sometimes you want to like a show so much that you convince yourself it's better than it really is. You watch it and keep watching it until a month or two pass and you finally wake up and realize, 'Hey, I am completely wasting my time here.' That's how I feel about AMC's "Rubicon."

The show had all the markings of a Dalton Ross favorite -- a conspiracy theory in the mold of "Three Days of The Condor" in which a government worker is trying to uncover mysterious clues is right up my proverbial alley. But holy smokes, nothing ever happens on this show! Don't get me wrong, I don’t need all fist fights and car chases to get my blood pumping. One of my favorite shows ever was "The Wire," in which they spent a good half a season simply setting up a wire tap. I appreciate subtlety and slow-paced development as much as the next guy. But "The Wire" was a sprint compared to the marathon slog that is "Rubicon."

I've watched six episodes, and all I've gotten out of it so far is a bunch of people doing crossword puzzles and constantly looking over their shoulder as they walk down the streets. That sounds an awful lot like every single New York subway rider I come across every day and I don't want to watch TV shows about them.

While the conspiracy being unraveled in "Rubicon" is mildly intriguing, the pacing of the show is so infuriating that it makes it almost impossible to become invested. It also doesn’t help that, unlike "The Wire," all the characters in "Rubicon" are for the most part boring, unappealing and ones that you find yourself neither rooting for not caring about in the least.

So to recap, not only does nothing whatsoever happen to any of the characters, but since you don’t give a hoot about them anyway, even if it did, you would most likely say good riddance. Which is exactly what I'm about to say to "Rubicon."
