The bad guy’s a fun one, too. No one who isn’t named “Leslie Nielsen” has had more fun poking fun at their square-jawed persona than Kyle MacLachlan has over the course of his career (even on Twin Peaks: The Return!). In this episode alone we watch him hump Jeanne Tripplehorn only to collapse crying into her arms upon climax, then insist on a ludicrous hair dye job to “court the youth vote.” When he and Lee nearly come to blows at Dale’s memorial service, he assumes a ludicrous Fighting Irish put up yer dukes boxing stance. He seems to be having as good a time here as he had on Fallout, which bodes well for the future of this shaggy-dog story of a show.
I reviewed the second episode of The Lowdown for Decider.
