Rectify. I'd never heard of it until I looked into the works of Ray McKinnon, a true triple-threat heavyweight. Deadwood fans will know Ray as the preacher from the first season of that show. He also won an Oscar in 2002 for Best Live Action Short Film for The Accountant that he wrote, produced, directed and starred in (it's on youtube and it's brilliant). He created and wrote this heart-wrenching masterpiece that lasted 4 seasons, from 2013-16. It stars Aden Young in the performance of a lifetime as a man released after 20 years on death row. Deadwood fans will notice a couple of familiar faces too. It's beautifully written, brilliantly acted, with a wonderful ensemble cast, no easy answers, and plenty of tension in a story of a man, a family and a community forced to suffer more than anyone rightfully should. I binged all 30 episodes inside a fortnight, it's that good.
