★★★½ (3½ out of 4)
Ethan Hawke is all kinds of scuzzy/funny/wicked/wonderful in “The Lowdown,” a series on FX (available the next night on Hulu) that has no right to be as sneaky good as it is. I don’t know why I’m surprised. The show is the brainchild of writer-director Sterlin Harjo, who created “Reservation Dogs,” an exuberant gift of a series about Indigenous teens that makes me smile just saying it out loud. Yes, I often talk to myself, it happens with writers.
