Bold prediction: Hart (and some others) are going to set someone up for the crimes to get ahead, and Cohle is going to "betray" him in some way...maybe through Internal Affairs.
I loved Rectify too, and almost everyone thinks that it's slow. Character studies are just something that I enjoy more than others, I guess.
Slow doesn't equal bad, that's for sure. It just means you have to pay attention more than other shows. You really had to pay attention to the dialogue. Well Hart is no longer a detective, did he retire or was he forced out? Hart seems as goofy as Carson Wells, they seem very similar.
I loved the fact the guy belly aching the most about IA and whom promptly got bitch slapped was Steve the Drunk, How awesome was that?
