The Lowdown heads down to the ranch to learn about the cowboy way of life
John Hawkes is a long, long way from Deadwood in this week's episode of The Lowdown.
The second season of "The Lowdown" delves deeper into the corruption surrounding Sheriff Vela Thorne and Judge Jed Sallsman. The series unveils a hidden diversion program called "Fresh Start," which aims to rehabilitate inmates through a meatpacking facility overseen by Sallsman. As "A Dog With Two Tails" unfolds, Lee Plimpton grapples with the truth behind Fresh Start's promises while Governor Donald Washberg, portrayed by John Hawkes, attempts to maintain a facade of charm and power.
Despite the show's entertaining cast, the deeper themes explore the complexities of morality, loyalty, and the corrupt nature of those in positions of authority.
