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.

Totally unexpected small production turned out to be a brilliant portrait of modern society and its flaws. Started watching it in order to dust my dutch I didn't use much for a while and to my surprise I found a little gem. Socially awkward Toon gets dragged into the modern showbusiness despite his desperate tries to stay away from any attention and public exposure. Charming , ironical, thought provoking and a very enjoyable watch. Don't miss it!

If you love Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development or Peep Show, you will have a good time watching "Toon". Great acting, well-written dialogues, well-paced and awkwardly funny in the best way. Plus, it's interesting to watch something from the Netherlands.

The series is really good, makes you wish for a third season. I understood that the whole series is based on making you uncomfortable. There's a german word for that, it's "Fremdschämen" that it's about feeling embarrassed for the others' behavior, situation. It's impressive how good the actors were in creating this atmosphere, it happens in every single scene and you just want them to get out of the situation due to the awkwardness, almost like invited by Toon's refrain

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..
