This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I thought the first season was a little slow until the last show; then, BOOM! It took off with an intensity that was addictive. By far, one of the best shows ever. Please bring it back. It was the number one timer on my DVR. Please bring it back!

I can appreciate building characters, however that's pretty much all that happens. As other reviews mentioned, I grew to despise ALL the characters. Any likeable qualities were dispelled in later episodes. This series would have been much better served up in two seasons. It draws on endlessnessly only to somewhat abruptly end with no solid conclusion. I endeared hours of a hugely depressing series and STILL don't know who actually killed the teenage girl.

I just watched the pilot in a fast-forward mode feeling most of the scenes were mostly fillers. The main family doesn't even look like a single-parent family! They seem to have different parents, the sister is dark-skinned compared to the other family members and the white ones also have different facial phenotypes! The sister is always smoking cigarettes as if it's a part of her personality, attached to her behavior. The plot isn't also interesting enough to make me watch the following episodes. I'm done with it.

Manager: "I'm just gonna cut to the chase, Dan." Daniel Holden: "Okay, sure. Manager: "We're giving you another raise. It's not a lot. 15 cents more, puts you up to an even $8." 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.
