AMC's Rubicon would be totally relevant in 2019

The New York Times

The James Badge Dale-led conspiratorial spy drama that lasted for one season in 2010 not only still holds up, but it proved to be ahead of its time. Maureen Ryan discovered that after rewatching Rubicon after it recently joined AMC's subscription service AMC Premiere. "There’s much more to Rubicon than its nerdy appeal," says Ryan. "Now that conspiracy theories have moved from the fringes to the center of political life, the questions Rubicon asks about the manipulation of truth and the ways the powerful intentionally obscure their most craven agendas are more compelling than ever." She adds: "Unlike 24 or Homeland, whose relentless pursuit of 'big twists' ultimately led to seasons of diminishing returns, Rubicon offers storytelling that is methodical and measured. It does an outstanding job of conveying the personal and psychological costs of working in the American intelligence trenches during the war on terror ... The show’s greatest virtue may be that, unlike too many serious dramas of the last decade, it’s never a slog."
