Denis Leary Military Sitcom ‘Going Dutch’ Is a Culture Clash Farce That Could Be Something More: TV Review
Denis Leary stars in Fox military sitcom 'Going Dutch', a culture clash farce that needs time to mature.
Patrick’s boss, General Davidson (Joe Morton), takes palpable glee in dispatching the colonel from a more strategically important post in Germany to a surprise family reunion with Maggie, who he hasn’t talked to in two years. In the three episodes provided to critics, “Going Dutch” easily amuses, especially in Patrick’s interactions with underlings like Sergeant Dana Conway (Laci Mosley, of the podcast “Scam Goddess”) and Corporal Elias Papadakis (Hal Cumpston). Whether denigrating Papadakis as “a fat hippie on a bike” or getting apoplectic over Conway spending a small fraction of the Pentagon’s budget on sourcing fine wines for the commissary, there’s a fruitful culture clash in a jingoistic American getting mired in Europe’s lackadaisical pace.
