Rubicon, season 1

Rubicon has ended in a rather downbeat, slow way that probably makes sense given this tv show. We didn't get startling revelations, what we mostly got were confirmation of what has been sparingly parsed in the last few episodes. There was less Kale than I would have liked, and the revelation about Andi is only good in that it means her crazy-sexy artist bit was just (hopefully) an act. And to be honest I could always deal without Hal scenes. I will say that I think the show did a good job answering all the questions posed in the first few episodes while adding new layers on. A second season could work and be quite good. Unfortunately, I don’t think season 1 stands well on its own after that episode. In many ways episode 12 was a better ending.
