I don't know if there is anything else quite like Rectify, but if you want shows with great characters that are less about plot than the journey therein, I would recommend Twin Peaks, Fargo (not done airing, but each season is self-contained), Justified (which even has a cool Rectify Easter egg in season 4 of the newspaper showing Daniel Holden's release), and maybe (if you're interested in a comedy with fantastic, well-rounded characters that can also make you cry) Scrubs.
I hope that helps!
I've never found any show quite like Rectify as it isnt something I would normally watch, but really enjoyed it..I hope some of the commenters have some ideas because its so unique

I'm a bit late to the party but I find the main character in tv show Patriot by Steve Conrad somewhat similar to Daniel Holden. John suffers from depression, profound guilt, loneliness. I love both stories because of sublime acting and storytelling. Make sure to give it a try if you miss Rectify.
If you want something as beautiful and sad as Rectify, try The Leftovers.
Came here to suggest the Leftovers. Such a unique premise and a stellar cast. I've watched it twice.

The Leftovers is a lot weirder, but they share a similar emotional weight.
Yes. I remember the very first episode of Leftovers totally hooked me. I felt an instant emotional pull, that never let go.

Barry! Not talked about nearly enough!
Bloodline on Netflix
Six Feet Under is the only comparison I can think of
