Rectify 2.8


An episode of pivotal conversations and moments:



  • Daniel confronts Tawney about what happened between them during the first season.

  • Ted Sr. has a late night meeting with Senator Foulkes (but we don’t hear the dialogue).

  • In flashback, Wendall confronts Daniel with some unpleasant truths about his character.

  • Sheriff Daggett appears to be coming around to the idea that Daniel may not have done it. How is that going to impact on the big story arc, moving forward?

  • Janet and Ted Sr. talk about their marriage/their love. The scene is both beautiful and sad, and cleverly fills in more detail on the back-story.


As is always the case, the pace is slow and the result is powerful, engrossing storytelling. 10/10
