bt88 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Has anyone else gotten into the show Rectify? It's on the Sundance channel, which no one gets, but AMC will sometimes rerun it, and the first 2 seasons are on Netflix. It's about a man who was on death row for 18 years or so and gets his sentence lifted based on new evidence. He has to struggle with readjusting to life, all the while half the people in his small Georgia town still think he did it and want to treat him like a pariah. As the show grows, it becomes about more than just that. It develops the characters around the main character too.The show is deliberately paced, some might call it "slow." I dont think slow is the right label. It's very contemplative. There will be scenes with the main character just taking in a sunset or something small like that, something the average person takes for granted. It emphasizes the beauty of the smaller things, and also of the human experience, both positive and negative. The character was so isolated on death row so when he's out the show starts looking at the complicated nature of human connection.It's a phenomenal show and has a ton of critical reviews, but not a lot of people seem to be watching it. I recommend and hope to discuss with someone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixes Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I watched the first season and loved it. For some reason, I never watched the second season but if it's on Netflix, I'll definitely try to watch it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start exploring the ancillary characters a bit more. I love how they lead you in different directions as to whether he actually did it or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really wish they got wider distribution or some awards so more people would watch it. It may forever be an underground thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
