From Coen Brothers movies to TV’s Justified, the best neo-noirs run on one constant — that guy. You know the type. A reluctant hero with a code, a shoddy car that smells like old coffee, and a face that collects bandages like they’re loyalty points. Thankfully, The Lowdown has “that guy” in the form ofEthan Hawke’s Lee Raybon, with showrunner Sterlin Harjo letting the archetype get even more wonderfully messy. Though the FX series is not particularly precious about the genre’s tropes, it does a strikingly fun job of throwing its lead character into some good old Tulsa chaos while watching what bounces off.
