What I Saw: Rectify, Season 2, Episodes 1 and 2
The Sundance Channel has the second season of Rectify on Thursdays. I don't know why I link to the Sundance Website for the show, their site is very poor for any information about the show. I guess that they are into Invisible SubText or whatever the new Lit Crit calls it these days. So far there have been only two episodes broadcast, and I have

Last season, they did just dump it all online. I think that you could even see the whole season on their lousy website before it aired. I don't think that they thought that the series would be going anywhere, that it was just a one shot deal. But it took off, so they are treating it differently (like a REAL series) this season.
But I could be wrong, i really don't remember exactly where I found all the episodes at once. This season, I am streaming week by weekly episode. If you want the links, let me know and I will mail them to you.
I’m sure they feel like Redford is forcing them to do good films and it kills them.
And I still don't get it. You had good explanations, but don't they want to promote the business? The more, the merrier? I guess that doesn't matter---it's where they can get their money and impose their control. Their televised coolness toward Redford just astounded me when I noticed it. I mean, they were enthusiastically applauding the lousy song and dance production numbers and then the applause meter went to -11 for him.
The Supreme Court knows more about oppression than confession.
I've had it with the MF5 on that court. Corporations are Transformers are People? Women Aren't? Like the Federal Judge said, "STFU".
She’s in her own prison worrying about him.
Yes! That is so pertinent. This show does have moments, like the lawyer in the hotel room, where the "free" characters are just as constrained as Daniel in his Death Row Cell. I am also thinking of the woman from last season who slept with Daniel. She had a crush on him in high school and never got out of the small town or her high school mentality. Daniel isn't the only "locked in" character.
I wonder if his worry was more that the money that could be going to him would be going to the care of Daniel. At this point, after what Daniel did to him why would he care if Daniel had become brain damaged?
Daniel did have that explosion of physical violence toward his stepbrother last season. It was like Daniel's tantrum in the Death Cell in the first episode of the second season.
It is not just the money with that stepbrother. I think that his status in the family has always been compromised by Daniel's. The stepbrother is the one working hard and making the family business succeed and all anyone cares about is Daniel and his problems. There is a lot of resentment there. I wonder what will happen when he finally explodes about it. Things go along in this series, often very slowly, and then POW BANG BAM! Things change in violent ways.
It is hard to believe that Daniel has only been out of prison for what? 7 or 9 days? And look at what has happened. This series seems to just meander along and then there is a Time Warp and we are there with "our hands on our hips" contemplating the bomb crater.
I have to go back and see why the guy killed the other one.
The Dead Guy, as I recall, shot himself in the head with his own pistol, or is that pistol implicated in something? It was the ID guy's reaction to that, covering up a suicide that was so unusual.
The Dead Guy wasn't around to confess to anything anymore and didn't leave a confession behind---hey, maybe that was why the ID guy went to go see the father---to see if the Dead Guy had spilled the beans somehow or to someone before he off'd himself. Hmmm, is that the reason for ID Guy's behavior?
