Series Brief

Overview

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.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 45 /100

Critical reception for Going Dutch is significantly polarized. Some reviewers praise the series as a fresh, hilarious take on the workplace comedy, highlighting the dynamic between the cast and the show’s potential for heartfelt storytelling through its central father-daughter relationship.

Conversely, other critics dismissed the series as a misfire, citing a lack of genuine chemistry, humor, and narrative edge. While some observers saw potential for the show to improve in a hypothetical second season, many labeled the initial episodes as largely unfunny or sanitized, leading to a split in opinion regarding its long-term viability.

“FOX's 'Going Dutch' is the first comedy misfire of 2025.”

“Going Dutch is the must-watch comedy of 2025, blending sharp humor with heartfelt performances.”

“It’s a series with immediately settled characters and performances... but a questionable sense of episodic storytelling.”

“Despite its problems, Going Dutch does seem to offer a sweet storyline about a father-and-daughter relationship.”

Why fans love it

The comedy relies on the friction between a loudmouthed American military veteran and the quiet, measured culture of the Netherlands. Denis Leary plays a man accustomed to authority who suddenly finds himself stripped of relevance at a base the rest of the world has forgotten.

It finds humor in the absurdity of his sudden isolation. Instead of high-stakes conflict, the show focuses on the irritation of a career officer forced to manage a tiny, unimportant outpost. The comedy stems from his inability to adjust to a corner of the world that refuses to take him seriously.
