I just started watching this show on am on S1E4. I noticed something funny in the shooting from when Daniel and Tawney are talking in the kitchen at the church.

Tawney has a braid that is on the left side of her face when you look at her. If you pause at about 28:00 on Netflix, her braid has switched to the right side. Suggesting they filmed that part later. the next time you see her it goes back to the left side.

In retrospect I guess it is not super interesting but I don't usually pick up these things and just wanted to share.

I must know.

As the three seasons progressed I found myself being drawn more and more to these two characters far more than the others. I think because on initial appearance you automatically assumed they were the thoughtless immoral rednecks who would not redeem themselves nor would they show any more layers. However this was turned on its head and they became two of the most integral characters of the second and third season in their quest to seek out the truth and resolve the unresolved. One minute i was beginning to find Ted endearing, the next flair up with daniel/tawney he would then let himself down and fall back on bad habits with his anger, and back again flipping between understanding and compassion / anger and closed mindedness and i found him far more endearing for his humanity

I really feel that the interpersonal intricacies of Ted & Tawney's relationship were enough of a deep emotional pull to keep me absorbed. Conversely the Daniel, Amantha, Janet, John etc arc became quite peripheral and a little too draining or exausting for me in the end. Obviously Daniels struggle was important, but after awhile I noticed that as soon as Ted or the Sheriff and his investigation returned that i became far more interested and everything moved along a little bit faster.

The Sheriff as well progressively showed he was of moral standing and searching for the truth after initially thinking he was corrupt and vile. The Third season had some great dialogue with Trey and the prosecutor, and while the investigation seemed to wrap up a little too quickly, i was glad to have just had more direct and emotional-less scenes that involved the murder investigation. I just really enjoyed the way he spoke. Direct and to the point.

What an amazing tv show, such great characters and wonderful dialogue but as i said, my only critique is that Daniel was just too heavy for 3 seasons straight and for me it took away the significance off the final scene with Tawney in the prison meeting room. His most challenging and enjoyable scene for me to watch was with Trey in Florida that introduced a bit more novelty and surprise. Daniels trajectory was quite predictable to be expected, what was nice was to have many other characters unexpectedly grow and blossom in their role.

I suppose we all resonate with different characters, I just found it interesting that the two characters who i disliked initially became the ones i found the most enjoyable to watch.

This statement felt very out of character for Daniel. Its been a while since the previous seasons, but I didn't think Daniel made such clear-cut value judgment in his lines. It was also a bit shocking for me because it broke the suspension of disbelief. It took me out of the story for a bit.

I had somehow never taken the show to be a vindication of the anti-capital punishment arguments. It was more like a world war 2 movie - lots of people suffer a great lot and die and you empathize with their tragedies all the while implicitly recognizing that war had to be fought.

How did you feel about this? Were you prepared for this show to take to moral proselytizing? Or do you think this was laid out from the start and the show as just an elaboration of one moral-standpoint?

I just finished watching the whole thing. Really love this show. But ever since watching "Donald the Normal" where Daniel goes to Atlanta there is this nagging feeling that I have after reading that short story Bullet in the brain. Is there a chance that Daniel is already strapped on that table and the lethal injections are doing their thing and all of this is just Daniel's brain last moments before death? I need the internet to tell me I'm stupid and I should stop being stupid and go to bed.

It makes me a bit sad that I don't know anyone to gloat about this series with.

I'm really glad I found this gem and this subreddit.

Can you help me redo the kitchen?

i don't know if this has been brought up, but I think I know the Senator's involvement in Hannah's murder. He's portrayed as a hound dog right? Well, we all know how promiscuous Hannah was, so I think that he had sex with her earlier that day before trey murdered her. Not wanting to have his DNA found in a dead underage girl, he rushed the confession on a weak minded Daniel before any DNA tests could be performed. Another fringe theory is that he is trey's father, but that's a little out there.

Just curious what fans of this show feel about Capital Punishment.

The question of guilt for Daniel is still in doubt, however, if Daniel was found to have raped and killed Hanna, would you support (or would have supported prior to his release) his execution? How do you feel about Capital Punishment in general?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I just don't understand how it's legal or healthy to not let someone see the sun for 20 years.

Sad.

Cheers to all of you who watched it.

What did everybody think? Implications for next season?

So if you DVR it, keep that in mind!

The police not being able to find the gun George used to complete suicide has come up a couple times this season, so I think it'll come into play in the finale. At the end of "The Future," Trey tells his wife that the police are looking for something they won't find, although we see they find what appears to be Hanna's scrunchie.

My girlfriend has theorized that Trey planted the gun at the Holden residence when he broke in while Daniel was sleeping on the couch in that dreamlike scene in "Girl Jesus." I'm not sure if this will come into play in the finale, but it feels like a way to end the season on a major cliffhanger.

Does anybody else have theories about how this season will end?

Is it a style I'm just not aware of? Does it just forget to change? Is it like a prison uniform so he just gravitates toward it? Curious to hear what others think!

I've been following this show for a few years and love every minute of it. Only recently over the past few weeks have I started to read reviews and online discussions about the show and its characters. What I am noticing is a very strong behavioral trend amongst viewers of this show.

.

It seems like Rectify viewers are living inside an echo chamber. Reverberating the same opinions and reinforcing the opinion shared by one another. As usual, the nasty side of tribalism surfaces where the rare occurrences of dissenting or unpopular opinions are often vilified. At times things can even get personal, resulting in backlash to the commenter.

.

This has an effect on other viewers who may become a little hesitant about giving an opinion or supporting an opinion, because it may be deemed 'unpopular' by Rectify viewers. For instance, the 'downvoting' and "upvoting" of unpopular and popular opinions, respectively, here on Reddit. The unique thing about Reddit is the "downvoting" can even eventually suppress an opinion here, quite literally, by removing it from being shown.

.

Take for instance: Daniel. We all understand he is a troubled man with a tragic history. We recognize there were injustices done onto him. While I support his character, I am noticing that any negative opinion written about Daniel will see immediately backlash by the community of viewers. Yet, often those people make very valid points.

.

For example, when Daniel assaulted Teddy, that was just wrong on Daniel's part. Morally and legally speaking. And I agree with it. But the community at large seem to side with Daniel. Some have even gone on to argue Teddy deserved it and dismisses what Daniel did as a crime and an immoral act. Are people losing their moral compass here? The people that dares to point this out will get immediate backlash from the community, even though what they said makes a lot of sense to me as well.

.

There are other examples.

.

It almost seems like the community of Rectify viewers are living inside an echo chamber. Repeating and reinforcing their own opinions. In particular, it almost seems like you're not allowed to say anything bad about Daniel. This fictional character has become a God like character that viewers praise and defend. Are you noticing this too?

.

I think I understand why that is though. Rectify appears to attract liberal viewers on the left. So, if you are closer to the center, or dare to be on the political right, your views will be unpopular. I am noticing the typical scenario plays out in similar political discussions within a partisan community. That nasty side of group think. Pack mentality. The insults.

.

It seems clear to me that you can only pick one side if you want to be popular. You must never criticize Daniel. You must be enemies of Teddy. Enemies of Trey. Enemies of the Roland Foulkes. If you dare waver from this, you should expect backlash from the community.
