Toon

Toon is a Dutch tragycomedy about a nerd who becomes by accident an Hero. It s really funny by moments and sometimes akward to watch.,it' s a Dutch sense of humor who is probably difficult to understand for foreigners. The problem of this tv show is that it does not develop very much. Season 1 is all about Toon a stardom as a Popstar, season 2 is more or less of the same as a renowned gamer.

Season 1 of the series includes a character named Ab. Without spoiling anything, I can say that he is often around at key moments, supporting our hero. The way he just happened to appear at the right time made me think the was a figment of Toon's imagination, but the other characters interact with him, so that theory was blown.

Spectacular. must see especially if you like dark humor. discovery of the year

Most Dutch TV-shows are mediocre at best. Toon however, is an exception to this rule. Maybe because it is an independent production, created by KPN (and you can only watch it through a KPN subscription in the Netherlands at this time).

By accident a clip of the nerdy and clumsy Toon, with whom everyone can identify at least a little bit, goes viral. In this clip Toon sings together with the beautiful Nina, who is also socially a bit awkward, and with this clip they suddenly become famous. Toon's sister starts to take care of this duo and becomes their manager. In trying to get the Toon & Nina act even more famous, Toon gets into a lot of socially difficult situations with which he almost can't cope. But every time they seem to get out of it with flying colors.

The roles are played very well by the for me unknown Dutch cast. The story lines are funny and entertaining. Well worth the watch!

(Probably only interesting for Dutchies, because of the references to Dutch locations and cultural events)

Well first of all I laughed it big time. And it was not a smiley laugh it was really genuine laughter. I did not expect this much comprehensive directing, you could catch up some rare moments that make you laugh every frame of the show.

You do not have to give time to it either, that is the another good thing with it. It just start and takes you in. Protagonist is played extraordinary and originally, naturally funny dude. He did not have to say anything at all, he make you smile you just have to watch him.

This one is for everyone, it is not cultural or national comic. Everyone who like the funny stuff may have liked it..
