It allows us to know and care for these characters even when they try to hold us at arm’s length, by embracing their truths in quiet moments that connect us to their loneliness, uncertainty, and ultimately their hope.
Rectify has established itself as a trip worth taking, and for a discriminating few, at least, the protagonist’s slow road to redemption remains an utterly absorbing one.

A rare gem of a TV show. Very grateful that this got made and allowed to run until its resolution. Vastly underappreciated as far as viewing figures are concerned I fear. Great acting, writing and directing. A deep dive into the human soul, prepared with loving care and talent

Rectify is an amazing show the story is very good, the characters are all very interesting. The show keeps getting better every season you discover new things by the season it's truly one of the best shows I've ever seen highly recommended.
Report
There's not a bad performance to be had in Rectify, which even features Hal Holbrook as Holden's former lawyer. But it's Young, whose character veers from a deceptive lethargy to moments of dry humor, who carries every scene he's in as he finds ways to allow us glimpses of the man still imprisoned behind the mask.
While Rectify may rightly be called a drama, it doesn’t feel like any other.
The Australian actor is again in Emmy-caliber form, delivering a gripping character study of a man who isn't comfortable in his own skin.
Rectify is an ambitious and eloquent series, vivid in its portraiture of family and local citizens who don't know quite what to make of Daniel (a proclivity the film seems to share)--assurance enough of an engrossing six hours.
For about an episode and a quarter, it’s very good television. But over the rest of its six-episode first season it resembles nothing so much as a bad indie film, the kind of slow and tepid bummer that used to fill Sundance’s late nights and afternoons when it was a full-time movie channel.
One of the best, most truly meaningful shows ever on TV. It is criminal how little attention that it received, it is a rose amongst garbage, and Aden Young is heartbreaking and unforgettable.
Report
This is such a well written and acted series. I can't recommend it enough. It is extremely moving and quickly pulls you in. You won't be disappointed.
Report
The sister comes on too breathy and posing as an archetype of a sexually needy Southern White woman. She’s got all the accessories, the print cotton dress. The long flowing hair. The clueless lack of understanding that her brother has been living in a state of sensory deprivation. Modify her character and you have a show.
