Watch Toon

Toon is a unique drama series that premiered in 2016 as the flagship offering of KPN Presenteert, the on-demand television service of the Dutch telecom company KPN. This property is an original television series that explores surreal elements in distinctly modern settings. Its unique blend of drama, humor, and almost surreal narrative makes it a standout in the world of contemporary television. Despite its strangeness, the show has a manner of drawing viewers in and keeping them hooked with its wildly innovative, yet strikingly relatable premises.

The series orbits around its titular character, Toon, who is portrayed by Joep Vermolen. Toon is an introverted, somewhat socially awkward jingle composer who prefers living a quiet life with infrequent human interaction. His music is only shared with a select few, preferring a smaller circle that does not infringe on his private, normal life. This all changes dramatically when a clip of him singing one of his jingles accidently goes viral, turning his life upside down.

Suddenly, Toon is propelled into the limelight, inundated by a level of fame that stands in stark contrast to his preferred recluse-style existence. The show does an excellent job delving into the impact of sudden fame on an individual and provides an introspection into the unforeseen consequences and pressures associated with instant popularity.

What really distinguishes Toon, however, is its unique storytelling style. It strikes a delicate balance of intertwining elements of drama, dark comedy and surrealism. The script is crisp and narrative-driven, with a sharp focus on character development, suspenseful drama, and just the right hint of unpredictability. It keeps you guessing, intrigued, and eager to explore the ever-evolving storyline.

Each episode beautifully captures the rollercoaster ride of emotions that Toon goes through as he grapples with his newfound spotlight and the changes it brings. His life, which was marked by regular routines and predictability, suddenly becomes chaotic. The transformation of Toon
