Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Excellent adaptation.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is slow and very slow but i loved every moment of it...especially last two season

Really? REALLY?!Madre do santinos. This was tedious. It's actually perfect if you need a show to fall asleep to though.The end? I understand what they were trying to do. They were trying to make the show about the family, and as a viewer I was supposed to be happy on their behalf. It's just that the main character was SO boring. The only reason I was continuing to watch until the end was to find out what really happened in the murder case. I wanted to see people held responsible for their horrible actions. But no, they left that part out. Thanks a lot.This is really one of those times I tell my self "so yeah, that's 20 hours of my life I'm not getting back".Some of the actors does a good job though. It's just that the producers does a good job keeping the viewer more annoyed with the low tempo than noticing their performances,

Rectify is awesome ! It keeps you wondering and wondering and the plot is really intense. The acting is also great , all the characters play their role perfectly. It is definitely worth the time watching. It took me a little bit to get into but once I did I couldn't stop watching it. The director did an awesome job, this show is phenomenal and I just wish they would have kept going with the seasons !

I watched this show just to know what happens finally with the main character, Daniel. Aden Young did a great job and his character is the only one with real interest. His deep voice, external calm showing a broken interior and his thinking are the only interesting things of this show. The problem I have with the main character is his permanent and unrealistic state of hallucination. He is like...stoned or dumb the entire show. The sheriff is other character with a lot of potential and latent badassness, but he is keep undeveloped. The rest of the characters are in the range between sad and boring to unlikable and unsympathetic. Overall, the show is slow, unrealistically sad and boring to hell. Episode after episode in which nothing happens, just uninteresting people talking very slowly about uninteresting things and being very sad and pathetic.Sometimes this sadness and slow pace may been taken as deepness and intensity, but are actually nothing. Not real deepness. Just average people being sad in a sad place where nothing happens. I think that the characters are sad as a way out of boredom. The only resource of the writers to maintain the interest in the show are the lack of new information and no advances in the plot. So, we know almost exactly the same about the characters and we are in the same status of the plot after 3 seasons than after 3rd episode. I think that it is because the plot have content for a movie or a miniseries of four episodes, not for a show of four seasons. The only way to make four seasons with this is not letting that things happens during the episodes.
