A single-cam comedy go dutch Follows arrogant loudmouth US Army “Colonel Patrick Quinn” (Larry) who, after an apparently unfiltered rant, is reassigned to the Netherlands, where he is punished with a command position at the world’s least important army base. After serving with distinction in every war zone of the last three decades, he now finds himself in charge of a base with no guns, no weapons and no strategic purpose.
Instead, it has a Michelin-star level commissary, a top notch bowling alley and the best (and only) edge in the US Army. Surrounded by a diverse group of underdogs, the colonel tries to re-establish military discipline and professionalism with the help of the base’s previous interim leader, who happens to be his estranged daughter.
Look at the timeline
Misiak portrays “Captain Maggie Quinn”, the USAG’s acting commanding officer in the Netherlands and the estranged daughter of a colonel. He is a kind and sympathetic diplomat until his father is in the room, at which point he becomes sarcastic and caustic, like the laughter of insults. Raised in the shadow of her legendary father, Maggie has ambitions of her own that include rising through the ranks of the military, becoming the first female president, and eventually a successful romantic relationship.
Pudi portrays “XO Major Abraham Shah,” the colonel’s executive officer and co-dependent right-hand man. Major Shah takes his responsibility to support the Colonel very seriously, from executing battle plans to carrying the Colonel’s unwanted emotional baggage. He is apparently the most confident and capable soldier on base, but something is starting to give under the surface. After twenty years attached at the hip to the colonel, he’s beginning to wonder where his boss ends and he begins. Because of his connection to Maggie, he’s finally ready to start finding out who he is outside of the military.
Mosley portrays “Sergeant Dana Conway”, the cunning, crafty supply sergeant at the base and Maggie’s best friend (though Maggie is not her best friend). Growing up in Yonkers, Dana was either in cosmetology school or the Army but couldn’t handle the high stakes of cutting someone else’s bangs. Coming from nothing, she has always had an entrepreneurial drive to get the most out of life. She has turned her service at the base into a European pansexual paradise surrounded by incredible food, art and wine. For most soldiers, the base is a place to deport or escape from. For him, it is home.
Cumpston portrays “Corporal Elias Papadakis,” “technically” a soldier, Papadakis is the brilliant head of the IT base. He thinks the physical demands of being a soldier are a waste of his talents. He may not be able to mount a bicycle, but he can hack into any system. Papadakis has soft hands but thick skin, making him a perfect target for the colonel who sees him as everything wrong with the military.
Bryk portrays “Private Anthony “BA” Chapman, a sweet baby Himbo, BA is a soldier’s golden retriever. Excited about almost everything, BA is ready to prove himself to the Colonel and anyone else who pats him on the back. BA physically Strong, but mentally weak and always cracks under pressure.BA stands for “below average” a nickname he got because he scored well on every mental acuity test required by the army.
