NYT had a write up about it too:

After Freedom, Peace Is at Stake
By MIKE HALE
April 21, 2013

“Rectify,” a new series about a Georgia man who is freed after 19 years on death row, traces the history of the Sundance Channel in reverse. For about an episode and a quarter, it’s very good television. But over the rest of its six-episode first season it resembles nothing so much as a bad indie film, the kind of slow and tepid bummer that used to fill Sundance’s late nights and afternoons when it was a full-time movie channel.

Watching the premiere on Monday night you will think Sundance has found a winner in its first wholly owned drama series. Directed by Keith Gordon, the first episode is taut and engrossing, and introduces interesting characters with unexpected wrinkles.

The show opens as Daniel Holden (Aden Young), convicted while in high school of raping and murdering a classmate, is released because of new DNA evidence. Wounded by his time in prison (in ways that will be detailed over the course of the show) and feeling lost in the world of cellphones and the Internet, he returns to his hometown and his mother’s house, where his presence threatens the peace of mind of everyone around him.

I've only watched two episodes. The first one I really liked, the second I'm kinda like wth? But I'm going to be fair and give it some more time to find it's footing (at least I hope it does).
