About this show

Nineteen years ago, Daniel Holden was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend, Hanna Dean. Thanks to newly discovered DNA evidence and the efforts of his sister Amantha and lawyer Jon Stern, Daniel's conviction has been vacated and he's returned to his mother Janet's home in Paulie, Georgia. But not everyone is convinced of his innocence - nor is his future as a free man secure. Season Two finds Daniel committed to living in the present and making choices that prove frustrating for some of the Holden/Talbot family. Unfortunately, there are many places and faces in Paulie that remind Daniel of the past - his incarceration, Hanna, and his role the night of Hanna's murder. He's forced to the realization that he must understand and accept what really happened if he's ever going to know any peace, a conclusion that shapes his determination to do whatever it takes to finally put his past behind him, no matter how high the price.

Just needs a bit more emoteing from Dan. He always seems to be in either deep thought or sincere constipation. I know he is living under INTENSE pressure & is constantly worried the ubiquitous "they" will find the mistake they must have made to let him go in the 1st place & bam! He's back inside until they get orders to kill him, again. Not very conducive to a good nights sleep or a good day the next. But heck! He could have cracked a smile every now & then. Also he really needs to mess with Teddy some more

Didn't know what to expect ... the subject matter was hard to take in but riveting. Well written, told and acted. Sometimes you want to be enlightened, not just entertained. Characters are believable because they feel real and easy to understand. Look forward to the news season. Well done Netflix !

Very hard to keep your eyes on screen for too long. You just wait for something interesting to happen, but barely anything goes down here.
