It's done
I already had the info thanks to petzipellepingo, and Alan Sepinwall just confirmed it on his blog:
"Sundance has ordered a third season of "Rectify," one of the very best shows on television - and a series that likely couldn't survive anywhere but on Sundance.
"Rectify" tells the story of Daniel Holden (Aden Young), sent to Death Row as a teenager for the rape and murder of his girlfriend, then released decades later after DNA evidence overturned his conviction on appeal. It focuses much less on the sensational aspects of that plot - or on plot in general, for that matter - preferring to look at the emotional and spiritual impact of this man returning to a family, community and life he never expected to be part of again. The acting is marvelous, the characters gorgeously drawn, and while the pace is slow and contemplative, the rewards are enormous for those who have patience for it."
It's such a relief! Especially given what he wrote about the final episode, which is totally what I suspected in my previous post!
"Without giving away much about this week's finale, I'll say that I would have been very unhappy if it had been the last episode of the series - both because I'm not ready to lose the show yet, and because it's an even less definitive conclusion to the series than the first season finale."
