"Rubicon&amp;#039;s executive producer Henry Bromell has defended the slow pace of the show. Speaking to The AV Club, Bromell explained that he consciously decided to slow down the series. &amp;quot;The filmmaking that I really admire and that we&amp;#039;re sort of nodding to in our TV show here is measured and has a pace that I think is very different for a lot of people today than what they&amp;#039;re used to,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Part of it has got to do with the way it&amp;#039;s filmed. In other words, a lot happens in wide shots, in master shots, in medium-wide shots. There&amp;#039;s not a whole lot of cutting. The artfulness is to be found in the camera composition within a single shot. Stuff like that. And I think what people are used to now is the highly-edited, very quick cutting pace of commercials and MTV and network television. We&amp;#039;re setting out not to do that.&amp;quot; However, Bromell admitted that he does not want to &amp;quot;bore&amp;quot; his viewers, saying: &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s what I&amp;#039;m trying to figure out - what part of the pacing issue is something that I think is fair and legitimate for the show. And I would like people to just hang with it and get used to it, because I think once you&amp;#039;re in the rhythm, it all works.&amp;quot; Bromell added that he is mostly concerned with the &amp;quot;storytelling pacing&amp;quot; and suggested that &amp;quot;the momentum picks up&amp;quot; towards the end of the season. He said: &amp;quot;The strands of the personal stories that we&amp;#039;ve been following and then the spy story that the team has been working on and, in fact, without giving away too much, the conspiracy that Will has been pursuing start to intertwine.&amp;quot; Rubicon continues on Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.
