Rectify (2013)

Rectify features a main character, Teddy Talbot Jr., who explores same-sex intimacy in the final season as part of his personal journey. This aspect of his character arc is handled with the show's signature nuance and empathy, neither explicitly affirming nor denigrating queer identity, but rather presenting it as a complex facet of a character's self-discovery.

The series deeply explores Christianity through various characters, portraying both the solace and community it offers (e.g., Janet, Tawney) and the rigidity and judgment it can foster (e.g., Ted Jr., parts of the community). The narrative ultimately affirms the virtues of compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love found within the faith, often contrasting them with human failings and misinterpretations.
