In an age of rampant misinformation, The Lowdown offers a hero for these times: a righteous loudmouth fuck-up who refuses to quit. The Lowdown, which premieres its first two episodes on FX tomorrow, comes from Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo, and stars Ethan Hawke as Lee Raybon. Officially a rare books dealer with a secondhand bookstore, Hoot Owl Books, in downtown Tulsa, Lee is also a freelance journalist. Harjo has said that the inspiration for Lee Raybon is Lee Roy Chapman, with whom Harjo worked at the now-defunct Heartland Press-esque broadsheet This Land. The more stable life Francis’ mother, Lee’s ex-wife Samantha (Kaniehtiio Horn), is seeking with her new dentist boyfriend Johnny (Rafael Casal) can’t compete.
