After an epically unfiltered rant, an arrogant, loudmouth U.S. Army Colonel is reassigned to the Netherlands, where he is punished with a command position at the least important army base in the world. After serving with distinction in every warzone of the last three decades, he now finds himself in charge of a base with no guns, no weapons and no tactical purpose. Instead, it has a Michelin-star-level commissary, top-notch bowling alley and the best (and only) fromagerie in the U.S. Army. Surrounded by a diverse group of underdogs, the colonel tries to reinstall military discipline and professionalism with the help of the base's previous interim leader, who just happens to be his estranged daughter.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A vehicle for Denis Leary's cranky charm that generously spreads the wealth amongst its likable ensemble, Going Dutch could use more discipline but shows plenty of potential.

Leary is unquestionably the star, but the way he interacts with everyone else doesn’t make him seem like the star of their lives. Go to Full Review

I like the chemistry between Leary and Misiak as father and daughter, and I like the setting. But I'm not sure how strongly the series will develop. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 01/04/2025
I was a little doubtful to begin with but really did enjoy it, even on a second viewing of the three available episodes, and increasingly as the series pushed at the boundaries of its premise. Go to Full Review
Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 04/08/2025
This situation comedy offers some lighthearted fun thanks to quick banter and physical gags. Go to Full Review

If a rightward turn in politics must be reflected in culture — and we should probably expect even more shows about “everyday Americans” living “heartland values” — Going Dutch is the best way to do it. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/24/2025
This show isn’t winning any Emmys or being hailed as a “great” comedy, but it’s fun. It leverages Leary’s knack for playing [jerks] while highlighting Misiak’s likable charm. Go to Full Review

tm11999 M @tm11999 Mar 15 old school humor in an old school sitcom. dumb but funny, go ahead and watch this. See more Christian C @RT65763192 Jan 26 Generic and bland would high praise. A military comedy that is uniforms and slapstick comedy. The stencil & typing sound every other scene is lame. This is the type of show that plays in a waiting room to somewhere you dont want to be waiting. See more Henry M. @studyroomF Oct 5 Pretty funny and good characters. Has potential to be something great. See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Sep 16 There are around two and half episodes of actual jokes and ideas in this series and almost none are linked to the setting See more Diana H @RT41677730 05/06/2025 I absolutely loved this show! The cast was fantastic, providing plenty of laughs. Now, I'm eagerly awaiting season 2. See more Aly R @RT96038144 04/07/2025 Honestly I had no idea what to expect from this show but I really liked it. I laughed every episode and thought it was a fun distraction from life.
