Review

 

The 4th episode of Rectify was tremendously better than the last. A lot of details were revealed and Daniel seems to be taking a somewhat sinister turn. I was reading earlier this week about Rectify’s ratings being low. The viewership is low, but no lower or higher than the last season or the season before that. The show is so little known and Sundance Tv isn’t AMC. The channel is lesser known, so this is reasonable. Regardless, the show has been confirmed for a 4th season already.

 

This is wonderful news and this was a great episode, which deserves a 9 out of 10.
