View MoreThis shows centers around Daniel Holden who was falsely accused of raping and murdering his girlfriend Hanna Dean. As a result he spent almost twenty year on death row and most of that period in solitary confinement. His sister Amantha Holden fights for him and eventually due to recent evidence he gets out of prison and that's how this season starts.Personally, I haven't seen a series which takes you through such a hard journey from losing everything until you have not a little bit of hope left. It has loss, expectations, fear, courage, family, hope, loneliness and everything you go through you everyday life. I got emotional at lot of scenes while watching the show and I could relate to the sadness and loneliness in the characters because it was presented in such a perfect way. I loved it because I could connect with it and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to be inspired I guess.

Daniel Holden: "That's not nothing, Julian." Manager: "Do you like me, Dan?" Daniel Holden: "In what way?" Manager: "As a boss." Daniel Holden: "I hadn't really thought about it, to be honest." Manager: "Interesting." Daniel Holden: "Should I?" Manager: "Should you what?" Daniel Holden: "Think about you?" Manager: "I'm not sure." Daniel Holden: "Okay." Manager: "But keep up the good work." Daniel Holden: "I'll do my best."The above is an excerpt from the life and times of Daniel Holden. Death row inmate and convicted murderer .or is he? This is the premise of the fantastic television series Rectify from creator Ray McKinnon and Sundance television. Daniel Holden, at age 18, is tried and convicted of raping and murdering his teenage love interest Hanna Dean and sentenced to death in the small fictional town of Paulie, Georgia. In the first episode we learn that due to new DNA evidence, Daniel's sentence is vacated and he is released from prison, and that is where our journey begins. While the mystery of the "who done it" is what drew me in, the amazing cinematography and amazing characters is what kept me for all thirty episodes. The depth and development of every character was amazing. I love the way the creators made the overall mystery of the murder take back seat to the amazing story of Daniel acclimating to everyday freedoms that we all take for granted and how his incarceration and now release effects his friends and family in normal but sometimes unexpected ways. Daniels tight knit and blended family is very well done. They are all so interesting and fleshed out that I would watch a show just about them, let alone the added intrigue of Daniels situation. It was so refreshing how the writer was able to get across the profound impact of the events that shaped Daniel, both before and while in prison, without ever actually reverting to visual flash backs. Instead relying on the actors and the story telling to do the job. They were able to do this because the acting was so superb. All the characters were perfectly cast. They had amazing chemistry and all gave inspired performances but Aden Young (Daniel Holden), Clayne Crawford (Ted Talbot Jr.), and Adelaide Clemens portrayals were award worthy and stuck with me the most. They were definitely helped by the directing and the dialogue was so real and down to earth that by the end of season four I cared more about where this cast of characters ended up rather than what really happened the fateful night that started Daniels journey. Overall, the way the show balanced the reality of how such a traumatic experience would permanently effect your every day, while showing that even after such an event, the world keeps turning and life must go on. So all that to say, if you have not yet watched Rectify, you owe to yourself to do so. I will leave you with a quote from Mr. Holden that I feel beautifully sums up this amazing story: Daniel Holden: Because somewhere in all this, I've managed at times to fight for myself for some reason, to fight for my life for some reason. And I... survived for some reason. And here I am, still, for some reason. And me not knowing that reason doesn't diminish it or invalidate it or disprove its existence. And that's what I'm going with today, Mr. Stern. No promises beyond that.
View MoreThe quality of the writing, acting, directing, and cinematography are exceptional. Daniel, the lead character, is unique, a combination of savant and tenderness so multi- dimensional that he is almost unfathomable. I love the show which is quite unlike anything else on TV.
