Here's why you should watch the show.Ethan Hawke turns in a career-best performance as Lee Raybon, a self-styled “truthstorian” citizen journalist, investigating the death of an Oklahoma politician’s brother in “The Lowdown.” The story starts off as a fairly conventional whodunit, but as the mystery deepens and evolves over eight pacy episodes, the show examines how the racist treatment of Oklahoma’s Indigenous communities at the start of the 20th century echoes loudly into the modern day. At times, Raybon skirts the line between hero and antihero. To put it mildly, journalistic ethics aren’t the guy’s strong suit. Despite his self-avowed love of the truth, it’s clear that his reporting is also motivated by awards, recognition and cash. While some reviewers have criticized Raybon’s slight white savior vibes, that’s kind of the point. Among the superb supporting cast, Tim Blake Nelson stands out as the bookish, closeted Dale Washberg, whose death kicks off the season. Washberg’s ruminations on what it means to be “sensitive” are some of the most powerful writing you’ll see on TV this year. Anyone who saw creator Sterlin Harjo’s previous show “Reservation Dogs” will recognize his ability to deftly switch between screwball comedy, punchy drama and touching, human moments. This show cements him as a creator of must-see television. "The Lowdown" is streaming on Hulu.See All UpdatesClose
