Cráneo febril

It has many similarities from many other series, such as: stranger things, dark, matrix, you etc...

It started with a curiosity but cannot keep that momentum all the way to the end. There is no surprise on any of the episode except that one scene.

Sometimes main character behaved like a really childish, selfish but without any good valid background, therefore you cannot make the connection with him.

Topic is okeyish, but could be way better with a little bit intelligence. It turned out a classic Turkish series, which has long lasting dialogs without any meaning, very very slow scenes, meaningless moments. Especially i really looked for a 2x or 3x fast forward option on Netflix to be able watch it.

It was a very successful production for Türkiye, especially in the science-fiction genre.

The actors and script are pretty good.

We should all make useful comments to pave the way for such quality productions.

The cooperation between Neftlix and Türkiye will become stronger day by day.

It was a successful production about a mass epidemic that started in Turkey and what would happen next.

While I am used to seeing similar original science-fiction works as a work done by different countries, I was very happy that Türkiye signed such an original work.

I would like to humbly invite those who want to watch this series to watch this successful series without giving spoilers.

All my best wishes, Enjoy watching!

"Hot Skull" is definitely better than I expected. It's far from perfect of course, but still quite a solid sci-fi from Turkey. I would not mind a bit more "sci" in it, they did not really go much into the explanation of jabbering throughout the series.

I was disappointed in the last episode, though. It felt rushed, and not so much in the story department, so much as in production. It felt as if actors have lost their edge and their performance got worse for no apparent reason. Although, I was watching it with English dub, so maybe it was the dub problem, and not the actors.

Nevertheless, I would not mind seeing a second season.

The series is adopted from a Turkish novel written by Afsin Kum, published in 2016, which I was not aware of it before watching the series. I finished the first season 15 minutes ago, and really enjoyed watching it. It needs a lot of thinking, sense of humor and open minds. I admired the "abuks" and congratulate the writers.

All the characters, acting and directing are incredible. The story takes place in Istanbul. There is an outbreak going on which spreads by hearing nonsense talking of affected people. The main character the hot skull, is the only immune person who is a linguistic scientist, but has a side affect of the immune response.

Hope to see the second season soon.

I was reminded of Pontypool and various story plots of Charles Stross and Greg Bear regarding mental virus ideas.

It was a nice change of pace from Zombies and the actors all looked "real".

A pleasant edition was no sex instead of love character plotting.

And older people were actually depicted as stars and not simply incompetent bystanders as one finds in most US productions.

I'm always surprised at the respect and wide characterization foreign media allows older adult roles. There is no pandering to the youth market or excessive gore and sexuality.

Either way everyone should watch and create their own opinions instead of following someone else's.

That includes mine.
