'Rectify': Sneak peek of tonight's season finale -- Exclusive
11 hours ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
It’s never just about remodeling the kitchen, is it?
Tonight, the Sundance Channel’s first original scripted series wraps its first season with a finale that could find former death-row prisoner Daniel Holden (Aden Young) leaving his hometown for good. Daniel’s had a rough few decades — he was arrested and jailed 19 years before Rectify begins for murdering and raping his teenage girlfriend. Though new DNA evidence has shed doubt on his conviction — allowing Daniel to finally return home — he hasn’t yet been exonerated for the crime.
In this clip from the finale, a simple conversation about home »

'Rectify' renewed for Season 2 on Sundance Channel
1 May 2013 11:48 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Sundance Channel has renewed its critically hailed new series "Rectify" for a second season after just two weeks on the air.
The drama about a former death row inmate (Aden Young) who's released from prison and struggles to adjust to life on the outside, premiered April 22 to near-universal praise from critics. The current season runs six episodes, but Season 2 will expand to 10 hours.
"The response to 'Rectify' has been incredible," Sundance Channel president and general manager Sarah Barnett says. "We feel as though this story has tapped into something truly unique, with both critics and audiences using their platforms to share such strong, personal reactions to this very distinctive TV series. There's so much drama and character that's been set up in the first season, it will be electrifying to see where 'Rectify' goes in Season 2."
The series also stars Abigail Spencer ("Mad Men"), J. Smith Cameron, »

Sundance Channel Renews 'Rectify' for a Second Season
1 May 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
That didn't take long. Sundance Channel just announced a renewal for "Rectify," its first wholly owned original drama, which only premiered last week. The series, which was created by actor and filmmaker Ray McKinnon, has attracted serious praise from critics for its portrayal of Daniel Holden's (Aden Young) experiences after he's released from prison, where he's been on death row for 19 years of a sentence that was vacated due to DNA evidence. The current season is a short one of six hour-long episodes set in the week of Daniel's return home, with the finale slated for May 20th. The second season, however, will have a longer 10-episode run slated for 2014. "Rectify" is executive produced by Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein of "Breaking Bad," and includes in an impressive cast Abigail Spencer, Adelaide Clemens, J. Smith-Cameron and Luke Kirby.

Rectify Ep 1.03 ‘Modern Times’ quietly observes the Holden siblings trying to adjust
29 April 2013 9:39 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Rectify Season 1, Episode 3 ‘Modern Times’
Directed by Nicole Kassel
Written by Evan Dunsky, Graham Gordy & Michael D. Fuller
Airs Monday nights at 9pm Et on Sundance
Daniel Holden’s exoneration from prison ripped a deep, tender scar off the town of Paulie – and unsurprisingly, many of the people living in it, from mothers, to politicians, and even those who weren’t born when the murder and subsequent trial of Daniel rocked the city. In an hour almost completely devoid of plot, ‘Modern Times’ takes a long, hard look at the Holden siblings (and those around them) trying to come to terms with this new reality, one where a confessed killer seemingly escapes the grips of justice.
For the first fifteen minutes of ‘Modern Times’, Daniel doesn’t even leave his bedroom. He’s spent his entire adult life in prison; having a choice of whether to open the door or »

'Rectify' review: Stick with Sundance Channel's slow burning new series and you'll be rewarded
22 April 2013 7:01 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Rectify" is Sundance Channel's first ever original scripted drama series, and as such arrives with the burden of needing to justify the network's foray into the field while living up to the Sundance brand. The good news is that this contemplative, utterly engrossing and frequently gorgeous character study achieves and then surpasses both of those goals over the course of its initial six episode season.
The pacing of the storytelling -- which has more in common with a film by Terrence Malick than anything else on TV today -- is resolutely cinematic, and not all audiences will embrace that from the traditionally less challenging medium of TV. Consider it the next evolution in bridging the gap between TV and art cinema that began with HBO and AMC's more highbrow efforts.
If you're already thinking "that doesn't sound like a show for me," you're probably right. But if you're a fan of "Mad Men, »

'Rectify' review: Sundance Channel miniseries features fine acting, scattered storytelling
22 April 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Watching death-row inmate Daniel Holden (Aden Young) be prepped for release after serving 18 years for raping and murdering a girl is like watching a corpse be readied for a funeral. Pale and devoid of emotion, he’s fancied up in a suit and tie, a freshly-wiped-clean blank slate presented to the public.”I’m not sure what to make of this drastic change of course in my life,” he tells the press assembled outside the prison, with the cadence of someone who suddenly has all the time in the world. “I will seriously need to reconsider my worldview.”

'Rectify' stars Aden Young, Abigail Spencer and Clayne Crawford on the gritty drama

The Sundance Channel’s new show bows Monday night, boasting a very slow and emotional build over its six-episode arc. EW spoke to three of the show’s stars about the characters they play on the gritty, lifelike new scripted fare.
Aden Young, Abigail Spencer and Clayne Crawford opened up about the places they had to go and the emotions they had to portray as they dove headfirst into this depiction of a man who is released from prison into the uncertain world of a small Southern town — and the family who surrounds him.

Blu Review: The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia
22 April 2013 10:28 AM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
First off, let's just get something out of the way. The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia never had a chance to succeed. With a paradoxical title like that, audiences are given a red flag immediately. If the producers of a movie can't decide on a better name for a film, then how could they make bigger decisions during production? Just pick a name! Was Ghosts of Georgia any more generic than The Haunting in Connecticut? The reason I sound so frustrated is because it deserves better.
The Wyrick family moves into a country house in Georgia. Their daughter, Heidi, soon begins telling her parents she talks to a man who warns they're in danger. Upon investigating, they find out their house is located on land once owned by a stationmaster of the Underground Railroad. The souls of the slaves are restless and begin haunting the family for unknown reasons. »

TV Review: Sundance Continues to Impress with Riveting ‘Rectify’
22 April 2013 8:26 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Cable networks often develop an identity, whether or not it’s through an intentional marketing strategy like “Characters Welcome” at USA or a network like Showtime building shows around TV actors and actresses who have previously found success in the form (Duchovny, Falco, Hall, Lewis, etc.). With the Sundance Channel’s premiere of the brilliant “Rectify” (now available on Netflix Instant, Btw) and tonight’s two-hour premiere of the riveting “Rectiffy,” what identity are they developing? Character-driven, deliberatly paced, genre pieces that transcend the cliches of their form to become something greater. “Rectify” is at once familiar and unlike anything else on TV right now. Yes, it’s great.
Television Rating: 4.5/5.0
Daniel Holden (a beautifully understated Aden Young) has spent the majority of his life behind bars. In fact, his life was supposed to end there. He was on death row for a brutal murder in his small town before DNA evidence exonorated him. »

Rectify on Sundance Channel: 'A Piece of Art'? Or 'The Twin Peaks Version of Mayberry'?

Tonight at 9/8c, Sundance Channel follows up the well-received Top of the Lake with another, equally compelling miniseries that offers almost an antidote to TV’s more bustling, “Scandal-paced” dramas.
Created by Ray McKinnon (The Accountant, Sons of Anarchy‘s Lincoln Potter) and executive-produced by Breaking Bad‘s Mark Johnson and Melissa Benrstein, Rectify follows Daniel Holden (played by Aden Young) as he is released from a 20-year stint on Death Row for the rape and murder of a local girl in a small Georgia town, due to new (if not exonerating) DNA evidence.

TV Review: ‘Rectify’
16 April 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Once again demonstrating that compelling drama can come from unlikely sources, Sundance Channel expands on the inroads it’s made with miniseries in “Rectify,” a series with a strong indie-film sensibility and slow-as-molasses, hypnotic pace. If that doesn’t exactly scream boffo box office, it does represent the sort of quality that can put a network on the media’s radar, buoyed as it is by Aden Young’s wonderfully stoic performance as a man who spent 19 years on death row before being freed by DNA evidence. Someone understandably refers to the protagonist as “Starman,” but his distant stare and alienation better approximate the vibe in “Sling Blade.”
Young’s Daniel Holden isn’t completely out of the woods when he’s released, since the former prosecutor — now a state senator (Michael O’Neill) — is convinced he got the right man, and the evidence doesn’t completely exonerate him. Whether »

14 April 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Rectify, the Sundance Channel’s first original scripted series, is a heavy order on paper: It follows Daniel Holden (Aden Young), who spent 20 years on death row for the rape and murder of a teenage girl before his conviction is vacated with the appearance of new DNA evidence. This means Daniel’s freedom as well as the possibility of another trial — two things that equal a week’s worth of small-town Georgia strife for Daniel and his family, including his younger sister/biggest defender Amantha (Abigail Spencer) and parents. Jessica Shaw wrote in this week’s Entertainment Weekly, “There’s »
