Storyline:
One loudmouth. One base.
One last chance to fix what matters.
Colonel Frank Mallory is known for his tactical precision and big mouth—and one unfiltered rant too many lands him a punishment posting: a sleepy, off-the-books U.S. military base in the Dutch countryside with no strategic value and even less discipline.
But the biggest shock isn’t the goats on the parade ground—it’s that the base’s interim commander is his estranged daughter, Captain Mallory, a by-the-book rising officer who wants nothing to do with his bluster, baggage, or broken apologies.
As Frank tries to “whip the base into shape”, he finds himself facing a bigger challenge: rebuilding trust with the daughter he pushed away. Between eccentric expats, NATO nonsense, and father-daughter flashpoints, Going Dutch delivers a smart, heartfelt workplace comedy with a military twist.
