Sundance Channel's first wholly owned scripted series stars Aden Young as Daniel Holden, who spends nearly 20 years on death row for the rape and murder of a teenage girl, before new DNA evidence nullifies his conviction. He returns home, but he's far from welcomed. He's an outsider now in a town that remains divided by his alleged crime, and contributing to his uncertain future is the man who prosecuted him -- riding that notoriety to become a state senator -- is plotting to reopen the case. As he struggles to adapt, Daniel is comforted by support from his younger sister, Amantha, who has always believed in his innocence and has worked her entire adult life to secure his release. Not so for Ted Jr., Daniel's stepbrother with whom he has no relationship. Insecure and manipulative, Ted is skeptical of Daniel's motives and will do anything to protect his family.

I don't think it's possible to say one show is better than any other. But this understated Southern drama is definitely one of a kind. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 10/19/2015
Thursday's premiere is very good indeed -- picking up days, even hours, after Daniel's plea. Go to Full Review Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly 10/19/2015
Rectify has always been one of television's best shows over the past three years, but this season was more effective than last for various reasons. Go to Full Review Ashley Bissette Sumerel Tell-Tale TV 06/21/2018
5/5
You have to love Daniel's dry humor, whether or not it's always intentional. That's just one of the qualities that makes it easy to forget he has a violent side. Go to Full Review Tim Basham Paste Magazine 07/20/2015

05/15/2020 Emotionally exhausting. The acting, especially Aden Young is superb. One of the best shows I've ever seen. See more 12/03/2018 The life of Daniel and those in his life for better or for worse just keeps moving forward. Breaking our hearts on the way in a way which makes me want more. See more 12/30/2016 Perhaps the most richly-drawn and complex characters you'll find in a show. See more 06/04/2016 A wonderful drama that develops characters that are complicated and real. See more 05/18/2016 Best show ever. Have watched all three seasons three or four times. See more 12/17/2015 Absolutely beautiful. Amazing acting and solid writing. Wonderful use of subtlety and empty space. A perfect example of a show that allows for a complexity of human emotion, and doesn't spoonfeed us a point of view. Admittedly, I'm a very critical tv watcher, and there's not a whole lot of tv out there that I enjoy these days. For this series, I am truly grateful. See more Read all reviews
