Network: Sundance Channel Status: Second season premieres in 2014 A lot of people have never heard of the Sundance Channel, so its not surprising they havent heard of Rectify. I heard of it because Aaron Paul tweeted about it, and I gave it a go. Rectify is a southern-gothic story of Daniel, a Georgia man who is released from 19 years on death row when new evidence vacates his trial after being charged for the rape and murder of his girlfriend. Aden Youngs haunting and subtle performance of Daniel is matched by Abigail Spencers Amantha, his loyal and fiery younger sister. Tensions arise with hostile townsfolk, strained familial interactions, and the presumption of innocence and guilt. Ray McKinnon and his writers hold a mirror up and challenge our ideas of perception. The show is a slow burner that allows the characters and small town of Paulie unravel in one of the most realistic shows Ive seen since Six Feet Under. It takes a certain viewer to appreciate the pacing, ambiance, and style that Rectify provides, but until you watch the first episode, dont write this one off.
