Overview

• The series premiered at TIFF on Sept. 4, with outlets reviewing the first five episodes ahead of the broadcast rollout.
• Ethan Hawke plays Lee Raybon, a self-described “truthstorian” probing the suspicious death of Dale Washberg in present-day Tulsa.
• Several reviews highlight a Southern-noir tone with Twin Peaks–style flourishes, eccentric townies, and moody, jazz-tinged interludes.
• Praise centers on Hawke’s charismatic performance and character-driven world-building, though FandomWire criticizes the mystery as derivative and the ensemble underused.
• FX schedules the debut for Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET with weekly episodes, and Hulu will stream each episode the following day.
