NYT had a write up about it too:
After Freedom, Peace Is at Stake
By MIKE HALE
April 21, 2013
Watching the premiere on Monday night you will think Sundance has found a winner in its first wholly owned drama series. Directed by Keith Gordon, the first episode is taut and engrossing, and introduces interesting characters with unexpected wrinkles.
The show opens as Daniel Holden (Aden Young), convicted while in high school of raping and murdering a classmate, is released because of new DNA evidence. Wounded by his time in prison (in ways that will be detailed over the course of the show) and feeling lost in the world of cellphones and the Internet, he returns to his hometown and his mothers house, where his presence threatens the peace of mind of everyone around him.

I've only watched two episodes. The first one I really liked, the second I'm kinda like wth? But I'm going to be fair and give it some more time to find it's footing (at least I hope it does).

(20,043 posts)I'm going to check my OnDemand to see if Sundance is on there. I have to wait to watch the most recent two cuz they'll be recorded out of order.
edited to add: my cable provider doesn't carry Sundance OnDemand. I will keep recording.

(17,742 posts)I don't buy the premise though. 20 years is not that long. If it had been 40 or 50 years, maybe. But this guy acts like an alien being.
But I'll keep watching to see what happens.

(15,696 posts)Life has the same basic plot, but it's much more "Hollywood" compared to "Rectify."

(20,043 posts)three, and it's got be interested enough I'm going to keep watching.
I think there are only 6 episodes in the first season, at least I thought that's what I read. I will double check tomorrow, it's late and I'm tired.
