ColliderTania HussainJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: Between a strong cast and overall writing, Going Dutch comes together to make not only a standout, off-beat comedy, but a show that’s hard to ignore. Through clever direction and effortless performances, it's exactly what the sitcom has been waiting for. Read full review

Boston GlobeLisa WeidenfeldJan 9, 2025
Season 1 Review: Leary is unquestionably the star, but the way he interacts with everyone else doesn’t make him seem like the star of their lives. It’s also just funnier [than "Shifting Gears"]. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert LloydJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: The show is essentially conventional and can be more than a bit silly. .... 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. Read full review

Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewRob OwenJan 7, 2025
Season 1 Review: While some of the geopolitical commentary proves cutting, the father-daughter relationship tussle is pretty much the sitcom pabulum you’d expect. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: The largely unfunny pilot of Going Dutch would normally lead us to give the show a “skip it,” but given the showrunner’s pedigree and the interpersonal potential of the father-daughter story, we’re giving the show a chance to improve. Read full review

VarietyAlison HermanJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: “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). .... Like a wheel of aging gouda, other elements of “Going Dutch” may need more time to mature. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: It’s a series with immediately settled characters and performances plus colorful (if overly sanitized) dialogue, but a questionable sense of episodic storytelling. Read full review

RogerEbert.comCristina EscobarJan 2, 2025
Season 1 Review: he material here doesn’t give Leary much to play with and he seems to be mostly phoning it in any way, relying more on his reputation as a funny grump than actually delivering a performance. Captain Quinn doesn’t do much better. Read full review
