Rectify\u00a0follows the life of Daniel Holden (Aden Young), who returns to his small hometown in Georgia, America after serving 19 years on death row. Having spent his entire adult life in prison, Daniel must now try to forge a \u201cnormal\u201d life, even while doubts remain over the crime he was originally convicted of.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the final season had a 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 99% rating from Metacritic.<\/p>\n

Variety\u00a0gushed: \u201cThis is\u00a0one of the greatest shows of all time, and that series finale is easily one of the finest to ever cap the run of a drama. Aden Young\u2019s portrait of Daniel is one of the greatest performances to ever grace any screen, without question.\u00a0It\u2019s a travesty he hasn\u2019t been nominated for every single acting award in the TV world. The entertainment industry should make up new awards just to give to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly,\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0hailed it as \u201cone of television’s best and definitely most overlooked dramas \u2026 One of those shows that audiences will be gradually discovering for a decade and they’ll wonder why they didn’t know about the show before, and they’ll especially wonder why it never got any Emmy attention \u2026 Truly one of the best dramas of the past decade \u2026 A top tier drama of all-time \u2026 A validation for television.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final season was nominated for Best Drama Series at the Critic\u2019s Choice Television Awards, where Young and Clayne Crawford (Martin Riggs in the\u00a0Lethal Weapon\u00a0series) were up for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively.<\/p>\n

Young was also nominated for season three, while Abigail Spencer (Timeless, Suits) was nominated in season one for her role as Daniel\u2019s sister, Amanda.\u00a0Rectify\u00a0also won a Peabody and was a Writers\u2019 Guild of America nominee.<\/p>\n

Rectify\u00a0is the first TV series created by Ray McKinnon, who won an Oscar for his short film,\u00a0The Accountant, and acted in Golden Globe-winning shows like\u00a0Deadwood\u00a0and\u00a0Sons of Anarchy.\u00a0 It\u2019s also the first original series by the Sundance Channel.<\/p>\n

Rectify\u00a0is the latest in a string of acclaimed series added to Showmax this July, following\u00a0Westworld, the most-nominated show at the 2017 Emmy Awards; the Emmy, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee\u00a0The Night Of; and\u00a0Taboo, Tom Hardy\u2019s hit new show set in 19th-Century London.<\/p>\n
