Crossing [Off] the "Rubicon"

I missed this sad news last week. Rubicon will not be returning.

AMC has its first failed series, but I thought it was riveting. AMC's marketing is to blame: it was pitched as a thrill-a-minute show, and it was never that, which turned away viewers early on.

It also had a supporting cast that rivaled Cheers in terms of sheer discoveries. I see them all working in other, more easily marketed shows very soon. And Arliss Howard made an amazing badass, especially since his character was clearly outed as gay.
