Lawyer Jon keeps his promise and brings convicted killer Hollis his last meal. Trey, I simply do not understand well enough to empathize with, but I will tell you all of it conspired to make me consider the frailty of our humanity and how quickly life can change.

And who could blame him? And maybe he killed Hannah Dean.
New DNA evidence vacates his original trial and he returns to his hometown of Paulie, Georgia after spending 19 years on death row. That’s how Ray McKinnon’s season finale of Rectify‘s season three made me feel. After Daniel refuses to identify Bobby Dean as the unmasked man who beat him, Amantha turns her wrath from the sheriff to Daniel himself.
Meanwhile, Amantha continues to be the most disturbed woman in the series.
Melvin wants to fight for him, but Amantha, rightly so, explains that Daniel would hate for him to lose his job. The subsequent adjustments and events in the lives of Daniel, his extended family, and the townfolk are related as a character study in a slowly unfolding Southern Gothic story. You know that feeling when you’ve just read a brilliant book that has changed you and fed you and revealed the world to you?

Season 3, episode 5 has Daniel walking to the pool supply store to rectify his poor impulse control. Echols reviewed season one of Rectify and since citing it in a paper I presented, I have thought of him often. Oh my God, life is cold and formless.

Without his parents’ help on the loan Teddy tries to put up his house for collateral. Welcome to the Rectify wiki! Welcome to the Rectify wiki! What comedy there is in Rectify comes from subtle moments, like when the taciturn Janet suddenly says, in a tense moment, “I’m getting a doughnut.” Still, I think it’s time for the Goat Man to return and take us down another wacky rabbit hole.
