"A father, the owner of Hoot Owl Books, an ex-husband, and a self-described "true-storian," he has made it his business to poke into and write about the doings of Tulsa's most powerful men. This regularly lands him in hot water, and his swashbuckling ways do not keep his nose in good kip or his eye unblackened for long. The rest of his time is spent sharing custody of his daughter, Francis (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), with his ex-wife, Samantha (Kaniehtiio Horn)."
"When the death of Dale Washberg (the ever-reliable Tim Blake Nelson), the younger son of a wealthy Oklahoma family, is ruled a suicide, Lee doesn't buy it. His rationale includes the fact that Dale's brother Donald ( Kyle MacLachlan), currently running for state governor, conveniently combines grieving in public with campaign stops, and seems to enjoy a close relationship with Dale's wife Betty Jo ( Jeanne Tripplehorn, doing outstanding work)."
Sterlin Harjo followed up Reservation Dogs with The Lowdown, a Tulsa-set drama inspired by journalist Lee Roy Chapman and anchored by a skilled cast and crew. Lee Raybon, owner of Hoot Owl Books and self-described "true-storian," probes the actions of Tulsa's powerful men while juggling shared custody of his daughter Francis and often endangering her. The series questions a wealthy family's handling of Dale Washberg's death after authorities rule it suicide. Lee suspects foul play, noting Donald Washberg's simultaneous public grieving and campaign activity and his close relationship with Dale's widow Betty Jo.
