It allows us to know and care for these characters even when they try to hold us at arm’s length, by embracing their truths in quiet moments that connect us to their loneliness, uncertainty, and ultimately their hope.

I’ve seen a few episodes of Rectify’s fourth season, and they’re as sweet and soulful as the show has always been. They contain passages of stark beauty, and moments of dreamlike simplicity. And above all else, they’re guided by McKinnon’s unfailing empathy for each and every character on screen.

Rectify has some of the best characters and one of the best stories on TV period. It gets better and better every season highly recommend.

Rectify more than lives up to the legacy of its previous seasons as it crosses the finish line. There's a bittersweetness, both in the story itself but also in the knowledge that there won't be any more after this. But that's OK. Because there is a life after, for us and for Daniel. And there's hope in the healing.

No other series so poignantly probes the human condition and our concept of reality, identity, what we know and what is true with such alluring complexity. In a just world, more people would watch Rectify. That it existed at all, and leaves four tremendous seasons to savor and contemplate, is its own lovely blessing.

Rectify, a drama entering its final season on SundanceTV on Wednesday, is exceptional in being concerned with what comes after prison, for ex-convicts, for their families, for an entire community.

Season 4, which marks the all-too-soon end of“Rectify’s distinguished run, finds a fresh thematic connection for Daniel while simultaneously setting him free from past complications. More importantly, it gives Daniel an impeccably astute voice rarely heard before and never this magnified.

In its final season, with but eight episodes total, Rectify continues to take risks.

Breaking Bad is acclaimed at least in part because of the wonderful character arcs of the 2 lead characters and rightly so. Rectify explores 8 character arcs in a complex and interesting manner. Add in lyrical storytelling and exquisite cinematography and Rectify vaults to the top of my all-time TV shows. Breaking Bad's inventive use of cinematography caused me to gasp out loud at their cleverness in setting up stunning shots, whereas Rectify caused me to tear up with emotion at the sheer beauty of the shot and how it captured the emotion of the moment. Both are admirable, but when compared, Breaking Bad's seems sterile compared to the visceral tug of Rectify's cinematography. It's likely that in my lifetime I'll not see 8 characters explored as thoroughly, I sure hope I'm wrong about that!

It is a show that is a slow boil, but never fully boils. The three main women of the show are exhausting in how whinny and boring they are. It is interesting about the effects of prison. It will be an easily forgettable show. It has very few moments of this is going to get good now.

I really loved this show from the very 1st episode, it was very rare to see something so slow and intense, really moving, something completely different from the trend. Then, when I started to watch season 4 I was shocked, how they ruined this show is unbelievable. I understand that the decision to cancel the show was sudden, so the writers I hope had difficulties to find an ending that was at the level of the previous season. Anyway, for me the evaluation has to be bad, would be a 9 up to 3rd season, a 0 for the 4th.
