	Media	Author	Review
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"A throwback espionage thriller that takes place in the present--if the present were more like the 1970s than the 2000s (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"
		Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"'Rubicon' doesn't have the glossy panache of 'Mad Men' or the in-your-face confrontations of 'Breaking Bad', but I think that's a good thing. It establishes 'Rubicon' as its own distinct creation from AMC"
		Paige Wiser Chicago Sun-Times	"There are some great characterizations and attention to detail"
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Without feeling like it's leading us on, 'Rubicon' is a tightly woven and urbanely acted tale for people who like to mull"
		James Poniewozik Time	"'Rubicon' is not a show for the impatience, and it has the kind of ambitions that could set viewers up for a letdown. But so far, I admire its intelligence"
		Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"This pleasantly low-key drama has little trouble creating an atmosphere, but the pace is sometimes slack in the first four episodes"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"'Rubicon' dares to be smart but, as conventional thrillers go, it's not very thrilling"
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Rubicon' looks good and boasts a fine cast (...). They work hard, but the more they and their show strain for taut, the more limp the program becomes. And for viewers, that's a very hard bridge to cross (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"As it wrestles with Big Moral Questions, 'Rubicon' is unquestionably smart but undeniably sluggish"
