This season, "Rectify" does the impossible. It resolves the question of guilt or innocence in a way that is true to its own subtle perturbations. It deepens characters that are already complex, eliciting grudging sympathy for unappealing characters and disappointment in good ones. At the end, it perfectly balances hope and resignation, underscoring how fragile--and how essential--hope is. As in previous seasons, the writing, directing, and acting are uniformly superb,ontinued perfection. This show is a masterpiece. Every season feels just as powerful, poetic, and transformative as the previous almost as if they filmed it all at once. This is one the most well-crafted shows on television. The writers respect the characters in such profound ways. There is simply no other show like this on television.

All I can honestly say is, EMMY. When I saw "Better Call Saul" nominated bypassing Power, Banshee and Rectify, I knew politics and lobbying is everywhere. My biggest disappointment was only 6 episodes in season 3. However, the flashbacks, karma-induced accidents befalling characters that were "bad" or treated our character without empathy, to the initially presumed anti-hero becoming a fair, equitable and ethical human, this serious has superb, unpredictable story writing. The characters change, as do what their established behaviors were, or we thought. Daniel is either an Emmy winning actor, has the best lines ever written, a great ad-libber or all three. His combination of wit, depression, adolescence and thinking like Bobby Fisher moving through 10 men in Central Park, check-mate in 10 min each, is top-level acting on par with early James Spader in Boston Legal. Rectify takes the Emmy; Bloodline runner-up.
