FOX's new military comedy
beat sheet
  • Despite starring veteran actor Denis Leary, the show fails to capitalize on his signature crotchety charm, as his character feels phoned-in and disconnected from co-star Taylor Misiak's ambitious, but thinly-written daughter character.
  • The only glimmer of promise comes in an episode that leans into satirizing American imperialism and the CIA, but even this land-mine of potential is largely underexplored, leaving the show feeling like a missed opportunity to bring an edge to the stale military comedy genre.
