The Lowdown is, by necessity, a more limited undertaking [than Reservation Dogs] that nonetheless succeeds on its own terms. Like Rez Dogs, it’s kinetic. Both shows mix humor, philosophy, and principled outrage, riding the roller coaster of daily life in a world of stunning beauty and glaring injustice instead of conforming to any prepackaged TV format.

Hawke doesn’t overload their delicate dances or any of his other scene partnerships with an insistence on pulling the spotlight, true to his character’s unspoken self-regard as a guide who happens to investigate his curiosities. It’s that balance of charisma and humility that makes me eager to see how “The Lowdown” resolves, and keep my fingers crossed that these eight episodes are merely the first of many cases for his public investigator to crack like the spine of a well-loved book.

“The Lowdown” is a more conventional outing than “Reservation Dogs,” which was energized by its formal unpredictability. Lee’s adventures hew closer to a sun-drenched “Fargo,” adhering to the beats of a traditional crime drama—albeit a stylish one—with professional hit men and hard-won clues.

Rather than trying to pad out its mystery, The Lowdown works toward one of television’s most worthwhile pursuits: establishing a setting and cast of characters that the viewer looks forward to spending time with. Like a good pulp paperback, the series draws you in with the confidence of its vision and the sense that wherever the plot may lead, it’ll certainly be a good time.
