Synopsis
Rubicon (2010) is AMC's slow-burn spy thriller, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Will Travis is an analyst at a New York think tank, spending his days hunting for patterns inside raw intelligence. When his mentor dies, he spots an odd code hidden across newspaper crosswords and pulls a thread he'd have been wiser to leave alone.
The deeper he digs, the clearer it gets: his own shop, the American Policy Institute, is tied to a quiet circle of men who have been steering world events for decades. There's almost no gunfire here. The show runs on paranoia, paperwork, long silences and glances over the shoulder, channeling the conspiracy films of the 1970s. James Badge Dale plays the analyst in hushed half-tones, with Miranda Richardson and Arliss Howard around him. It lasted a single dense, deliberately unresolved season. If you like patient, brainy paranoia, stream Rubicon (2010) online on iFILM.
