Verne Gay Newsday Another fine Hawke performance — and entertaining series — but the character he's created never quite gets a backstory, at least over the first five episodes. Rated: 3/4 Sep 20, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal “The Lowdown” has a genuine sense of where it is, what it’s about and what we should be hearing -- Leon Russell, J.J. Cale and even their fellow Sooner, Chet Baker. Throughout, it also has the right people in the right parts. Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic It is ridiculously entertaining. Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable Even with its moody noir atmosphere, The Lowdown also preserves the hangout feel that made Reservation Dogs so special. Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire Fans of Sterlin Harjo’s past work certainly hope that The Lowdown would be a clever subversion of the genre’s tropes, but it leans into them, feeling like a kitschy homage that coasts on the talents of Ethan Hawke. Rated: 5/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Allison Picurro TV Guide It's fearless and gonzo, easily one of the best new shows of the year, and it's made even better for the time it arrives in. Rated: 9.5/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
