Going Dutch is one of the most-anticipated new shows of the year because of its unique setting and sharp humor.

 Going Dutch TV Show Plot
Colonel Patrick Quinn is at the center of Going Dutch. He is a career Army officer who is sent to Garrison Stroopsdorf after an offensive rant. It has been called the “least important army base in the world” and it doesn’t have any weapons or strategic importance. However, it does have nice things like a Michelin-starred commissary and the Army’s only fromagerie.
What is Quinn’s job? To get back to being disciplined and professional. But this won’t be easy for him because his ex-daughter, Captain Maggie Quinn, used to lead the base but has different ideas from him. The show makes fun of Quinn’s attempts to adjust to life at a base by putting self-care, making cheese, and activities that boost morale ahead of family problems.
Where Was Going Dutch Filmed?
The first season was filmed from August 2024 to December 2024. The production team did a great job of using Dublin and Los Angeles to make the perfect mix of European style and useful interiors.
Dublin, Ireland
The main place that stands in for the made-up Dutch town of Stroopsdorf is Dublin. The city is known for its old buildings and adorable European streets. Make it the perfect place to look at the military base. Some of the most important landmarks in the Netherlands are Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and The Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
The Dublin Castle from the 1300s adds a touch of old-world charm and the neoclassical beauty of the Casino of Marino gives the area a very European feel. The crew also uses Dublin’s cobblestone streets and lush parks to make scenes that feel real. All of these things make Stroopsdorf’s narrow streets, quiet canals, and lively public spaces feel like they belong in the middle of the Netherlands.
Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles brings its modern versatility to Going Dutch, which is different from Dublin’s historic appeal. A lot of interior shots are taken in the Busy city, which has state-of-the-art studios that can recreate complex settings like the Stroopsdorf garrison’s commissary, dorms, and offices.
The choice to shoot in Los Angeles by the production team makes it easy to move from indoor to outdoor scenes. With its sunny weather and famous backdrops—Los Angeles is a great place to show how the show’s workplace works and how full of life the characters are.
