    It's good, but not quite as good as the first season. The writers are apparently so obsessed with anal rape they may as well have called the show "Rectum-fy".

    Much like with Louie, we’re in uncharted territory with Rectify. Each episode offers up wondrous new surprises, whether it’s a dream sequence, a stunning revelation from a new character, or a sly moment of levity from an unexpected source.
