RECTIFY After 19 years on Death Row for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend, Daniel Holden is going home. His conviction has been vacated due to new DNA evidence. Now he has to return to a world he no longer knows and his reentry into the outside world may be as unforgiving as prison. Daniel is haunted by the past, dogged by the present, and uncertain of the future. As he struggles to adapt to his new life, his homecoming reignites the fears of a small town and threatens to shatter his family’s fragile peace. Daniel’s alleged crime divided a community. Will his freedom tear it in half?

ABOUT THE CREATOR OF RECTIFY
Ray McKinnon is mostly known as an actor, an underrated one at that! He's been in such shows as HBO's DEADWOOD and most recently FX's SONS OF ANARCHY. A man of a million faces, he can play just about anything and quite often I've been in the middle of watching a movie and suddenly that distinctive face and voice appears and I am like, "Oh WOW! I didn't know he was going to be in this!" RECTIFY is not Ray's first creation-- he actually won an Academy Award for writing and directing a 2001 short The Accountant!
WHY RECTIFY IS A MUST WATCH
RECTIFY is one of those shows that consumes you, that when an episode ends, you need to put the next one on to see what happens. I've only had that happen with a few shows, PRISON BREAK and SONS OF ANARCHY to name a couple. The acting talent is absolutely outstanding, with many faces that seem familiar but not so popular that it turns into an distraction (many times I've skipped over or watched a show solely because of an actor/actress alone). But my new obsession is Aden Young who plays the tormented Daniel. I am still blown away by his performance. Those sad, expressive eyes, that deep, soft southern drawl. Where the hell did this guy come from??? And let's not forget the story. Ray McKinnon has truly outdone himself. Many people, including myself, may think at first that the premise of this series can only work as a miniseries or one season tops. But somehow Ray weaves a story that most definitely can go on for at least another 2 or 3 seasons. Everything about this show blew me away. The acting, the story, the music-- I was an emotional mess by the end of episode 6 and days later I am still thinking about RECTIFY. If you want to watch something that is thought provoking, well acted, and addictive, give this show a try. You won't be disappointed!
Hi Mia,
ReplyDeleteWell Rectify sounds like my kind of series. If you compare its intesity to SOA, I will definitely watch it.
BTW, I loved the character Ray played on SOA, he was really odd x)
Thanks for the recomendation I hope some channel buy it for South America :)
