If you're looking for a new show to watch this week, I got your back. I've scoured the schedules of Netflix, Prime, Max, Hulu, and other streaming platforms to bring you the best and most notable shows streaming this week.
My "don't miss" choice this week is Going Dutch, a clash-of-cultures comedy that stars Denis Leary and is streaming on Hulu. But that, as they say, is not all; read on for more new shows you might enjoy.
Going Dutch
In this clash-of-military-cultures comedy series from Fox, Denis Leary stars as Patrick Quinn, an outspoken, by-the-books colonel banished to a chaotic, unimportant military base in the Netherlands and asked to bring discipline back to the installation. The show also stars Danny Pudi as Quinn's righthand man and Taylor Misiak as his estranged daughter. If you're looking for an update of Gomer Pyle, USMC, this might be the show for you.

Missing You
Missing You is a mystery-thriller from novelist Harlan Coben, so expect plot twists that will leave you saying "whoah." Rosalind Eleazar plays detective Kat Donovan whose fiancé Josh, played by Ashley Walters, disappeared years before. When she sees his face on a dating app, Donovan tries to get to the bottom of a mystery that spins in wildly unexpected directions. If you're looking for a potboiler-mystery series, check out Missing You.

Lockerbie: A Search for Truth
Based on real events surrounding the explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, Peacock's original limited series Lockerbie: A Search For Truth tells the story of Dr. Jim Swire (Colin Firth) whose daughter was among the 259 dead on the flight. After being nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, Swire sets off on a quest for truth and justice, but his journey upends his family and leads to a quagmire of political issues that shake Swire's faith in the justice system.

Last week's picks
Squid Game, Season 2
Netflix's big Christmas present is coming a day late with the Dec. 26 release of season two of Korean dystopian sci-fi drama Squid Game. Season two was written, directed, and produced by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the genius behind season one, and Lee Jung-jae will return as Player 456, who's re-entering the game to tear it apart from the inside. Season one cast members Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo are coming back too, where they'll join a fresh crop of competitors, so everyone can play a new bunch of deadly games. Can't wait.

Landman
In Landman, Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton stars as Tommy Norris, a "crisis executive" (aka fixer) for a major oil company. Created by Yellowstone auteur Taylor Sheridan and set in the boomtowns of West Texas, Landman dramatizes the ethical quandaries and moral gray areas that are inextricably linked to the juice we use to power everything in our lives.
Where to stream: Paramount+
The Secret Lives of Animals
Apple TV+ and the BBC teamed up for The Secret Lives of Animals, a for-the-whole-family documentary series that takes us deep into the worlds of bears, birds, monkeys, and other critters as they leave home, look for food, find mates, and generally do their animal things. If you have smaller kids, rest assured this is not one of those traumatizing nature documentaries in which the strong prey upon the weak and death is all around.
