The Lowdown Recap: Live Fire

It’s easy to assume the man seen in the red light during the explosions at the end of “This Land”—likely Governor Donald Washberg—is the culprit. It’s *so* obvious, though, that he’s probably not. Even if he isn’t the one who committed the crime, Donald is so unlikeable that it’s hard to imagine anyone could be worse. So, while he may not be the killer, he’s definitely the villain. Because of this, the show isn’t really about Lee solving the mystery; it’s about the relationships he builds and loses. Last week it was Betty Jo, before that Francis and Ray, and this week we meet Wendell, Lee’s oldest friend, who barely tolerates him.
