Did anybody see this show last night?

I thought it was a very good start, kind of like a combination of the X Files and Three Days of the Condor. The story is unfolding slowly, but the dialogue and acting are more than good enough to keep me watching. Looking forward to future episodes.

I have them on DVR, they had 2 new ones on I guess. I am thinking I will probably watch them tonight or tomorrow.

Saw the last 45 minutes of last night's show. Looked very interesting. Anytime the tin foil hat goes on is O.K. by me.

I've tried to give this show a shot. AMC has a pretty good track record with Breaking Bad and Mad Men. I think I will wait until the end of the first season. The pace was maddeningly slow over the 3 episodes I saw.

This show has the pacing and narrative density of a 19th century novel, and thus may be alienating at first. If you stick with it, however, I think you will find it immensely enjoyable. Along with Mad Men, Rubicon is now one of my two favorite shows on TV.

The show's main idea--the manipulation of the national security state by a group of well-connected individuals--is coming together in a complex, multi-dimensional way that demands close attention.
