Reason for cancel


Wonder if the production cost had anything to do with it. I notice the show was shot in New York City, a lot more expensive to film there than say Albequerqe, rural Georgia or Eastern Europe.

Low ratings and very high ratings of the walking dead so they cancelled it.

Which is crap because it brought in higher ratings than their current turds TURN and Halt and Catch Fire. Still pissed about this. This show had great potential.

Life! Don't talk to me about life.

The first season of Halt and Catch Fire was great. Second, pretty meh. The score in both Rubicon and H&CF is excellent. So at least in one department they're still on the money.

True ... I thought it was a natural, smart, complex and clever.

Too close to the truth. Economic/environmental terrori$m It's been scrubbed and can't buy it on DVD.

Yes, DaveBowman. Likely, closer to the truth than we'd think! Cut a little too close to the bone for some folks in 2010.

I just watched it again after it finally appeared through Amazon online.

It also was such a smart show, old spy tv show and film references in the script were wonderful, and slow, methodical and beautifully acted scenes.

Way too smart to last. Nothing against most viewers, but it was a kind of show for detail oriented viewers who like high concept stuff. Especially the Hitchcockian homage melded with intel deep state etc.

It was a fantastic show, and I wish it would have continued.

Totally agree! The brilliant people who wrote this could have likely written their way around the finality of Will's situation. But we'll never know. I did enjoy Badge Dale as Leckie in The Pacific later, so all was not lost, ha.

What an actor. From Rubicon, then to Leckie in The Pacific. The latter so harrowing, it stuck with me and gave me additional respect for him as an actor. He was brilliant.
