Citizen Journalist's Risky Crusade Uncovers Shocking Injustice

Ethan Hawke delivers a standout performance as Lee Raybon, a truth-seeking citizen journalist living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Raybon's rough-and-tumble nature and sloppy methods often land him in trouble, but his altruistic intentions are clear as he fumbles his way through life in pursuit of a Pulitzer Prize-winning story.

In the penultimate episode, which aired just last month, Hawke's Raybon is seen charming his editor and even taking a nap on the couch, all while promising to deliver a groundbreaking piece. Despite his propensity for reckless behavior, Raybon's determination to expose an injustice shines through, and he even manages to convince a lawyer to help him prove ownership of Native land.

However, Raybon's quest takes a dangerous turn when he discovers that his former fling's loose lips led to the murder of a man named Arthur. Hawke's portrayal of Raybon's wild fury is both captivating and unsettling, culminating in a showdown at a church where the journalist pulls a gun on the entire parish. While some may see Raybon as a mere opportunist, Hawke's steady hand has transformed him into one of the most compelling new characters on television, a flawed but altruistic truth-seeker whose story is far from over.
