Rectify [Sundance - US] *Spoilers*

I caught up on this over the last few days. I was out sick and the show kept me sane! The reason I held back on watching it was because I wanted to rewatch Season 1 so that I could watch with some continuity. I'm so glad I did it this way. I also wanted to allocate some block time to watch several episodes in a go because I find the whole show incredibly addictive.

Season 2 was another great season. I love how slowly the story unfolds. I felt like I'd spent some time living in Georgia after finishing which was great. The fact that they just let scenes unfold and let you linger in the moment is just fantastic.

I've gone from being happy but unsure about Daniel when he was released to feeling sorry for him, to now being a bit suspicious about him and now I'm torn between rooting for him and hoping he learns lessons from his stupidity.

Poor old Ted Jr. He's living in a situatio he can't possibly control. Daniel has taken his wife and his one effort to seize back some control over his own destiny is, undertandably, falling to bits. It wasn't hard to see that he'd get ripped off ove rthe rims. I find it hard to pin point what he and Tawny have in common that would have led them to get married. I suspect he's changed over time. I loved that they focused on the affair an an emotional one. Most shows take the lower hanging fruit route but this was just exquisitely done. The breakup was heartbreaking yet you knew it was coming but just didn't know quite when.

I'm really looking forward to Season 3. This is probably hands down the best, most fulfilling shows I've ever watched on TV. Many more watched True Detective which was equally slow moving and unfolding but I think it's almost a cheap knock off of the type of storytelling that Rectify excels at. I completely adore this show and it's always going to be one I'll come back to, much like a favourite book. I suspect with the passing of years and my own increased depth of knowledge of the worlds, people and their emotions that I'll notice new things with each watch. Television doens't get finer than this!
