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.

This show simply drew you in...the interpersonal experience of every member of the family was just so authentic and real. Daniel's sister Amatha and the Mom always trying to help him and the relationships were so genuine. I loved watching Daniel, he was a sad soul, then he slowly (at times) would do something so out of the blue that was funny; just a exceptionally well written show that pulled you into each character and I loved it from the beginning to the end! I'd love more shows like this!💖

Magnificent cast and acting with a story that keeps me guessing. Something almost Scandinavian about the main character in his reticence(who wouldn't be withdrawn after going through what he does). Maybe a bit slow for some but once you adjust, the show pays off in spades. A prime example of less is more.

There is so much to praise in this show. For one, it demonstrates the depth of American acting talent...the show is cast impeccably down to the most minor character and the cast responds to the depth of the story and the writing with unfailing sensitivity. For another, it's a drama about intelligent people, good people, struggling to deal with loss and deep-seated pain... instead of melodrama we get perfectly rendered moments that seem entirely true to life as it is lived.Too, it is a welcome antidote to the southern gothic strain--a la True Detective--in American television. Finally it is a wonderful portrayal of a complicated family and its oft-tested loyalty to one another.
