Overview

• Episodes screened at the Toronto International Film Festival drew strong praise for Hawke’s performance and the show’s atmosphere, production design, and score.
• FX sets the series premiere for Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET, with new episodes streaming on Hulu the following day on a weekly rollout.
• The story follows Lee Raybon, a citizen journalist probing a suspicious death tied to a powerful Tulsa family, in a neo-noir framework without revealing key twists.
• Several reviews note Lynchian and Coen-like flavors and cite a standout ensemble that includes Kyle MacLachlan, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Keith David, Michael Hitchcock, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and Michael “Killer Mike” Render.
• While early reception trends positive, some critics question the originality and momentum of the central mystery after viewing the first five of eight episodes.
