What is Going Dutch about?
Going Dutch Season 2 will see the return of Colonel Patrick Quinn, a high-ranking US Army officer. The first season followed Col. Patrick after he was assigned to Garrison Stroopsdorf because of his offensive rant. This military base in the Netherlands is dubbed the "least important Army base in the world".
Patrick reaches his newly assigned base only to realise that Stroopsdorf has no strategic purpose or weapons, but is rather famous for its luxury resort-type amenities. Col. Patrick determines to round up his team of misfit officers and bring discipline and professionalism to the chaotic base. Additionally, Patrick learns that he has to work with the base's former leader, Captain Maggie, who happens to be his estranged daughter.
Going Dutch Season 2 will continue to follow Col. Patrick's efforts as he struggles to make the best out of his newly assigned base, while mending his relationship with his daughter. However, Johnston's General Martin will likely become a huge distraction for Patrick, creating more chaos and mayhem in Going Dutch Season 2.
