The surviving members arrive at a secret offshore facility called the Stac, nestled deep in the harsh and unforgiving Arctic Circle.

‘Going Dutch’ (Fox)
Denis Leary headlines his own TV show for the first time since FX’s “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” ended in 2016. He stars as U.S. Army Col. Patrick Quinn, a highly decorated combat commander who also happens to be an arrogant loudmouth. After an epically unfiltered rant, he’s reassigned to a new base in the Netherlands as punishment. After serving in every warzone of the last three decades, he now finds himself in charge of an unimportant base with no weapons and no tactical purpose. It does have a bowling alley and the only fromagerie in the Army. Quinn tries to whip his new group of underdogs into shape, though he has to contend with the base’s previous leader … who just happens to be his daughter.

A dynamic group of no-nonsense agents at Douglas Elliman sell luxury listings while navigating personal dramas, interoffice rivalries and career ambitions.

‘The 82nd Annual Golden Globes’ (CBS)
After last year’s Golden Globes host Jo Koy bombed, things can only get better with this year’s host, Nikki Glaser, who absolutely smashed it at Tom Brady’s roast. Beyond the host, the ceremony itself should provide some memorable moments; seeing drunk movie and TV stars mingle is highlight enough. As for the actual awards, “Emilia Pérez” leads with 10 Golden Globe nominations on the film side, while “The Bear” is at the front of the pack with five nominations on the TV side.
