All eight episodes of the critically acclaimed crime thriller The Lowdown are now available to stream on Disney Plus. The series, which originally aired on FX and is presented under the Hulu branding on the platform, has earned a near-perfect 98% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
The series follows citizen journalist Lee Raybon, portrayed by Oscar-nominated actor Ethan Hawke, a self-proclaimed Tulsa 'truthstorian' whose obsession with uncovering the truth repeatedly lands him in trouble. The storyline is loosely based on real-life activist Lee Roy Chapman, whose research shed light on Tulsa's racial history. The strong supporting cast includes Keith David, Tim Blake Nelson, Kyle MacLachlan, and Peter Dinklage.
Critics have hailed The Lowdown as one of the best shows of 2025, with one reviewer calling it 'genius'. Viewers have echoed the praise, with one fan posting, 'Absolute perfection. Ethan Hawke at his very best.' Another added, 'Across the board perfection. Acting, writing, direction superb. Expecting this to win some awards.' Despite the acclaim, there has been no official word on a potential second season.
