Review of the Netflix show Hot Skull

If anyone here has read the Turkish book this is based on, I'd be happy with spoilers of the plot.
@liztai May I suggest European stories? https://europeanperspective.substack.com/p/following-the-trail-of-the-money
Both based in European setups and written by European authors.
I'm currently watching "Hot Skull" which is a Turkish story about a disease transmitted by speaking. In a dystopian Istambul everyone wears headphones for protection.

Which one is your favourite in the 1st semi-final of #EuropeanSeries?
๐ช๐ธ Sky Rojo
vs
๐น๐ท Hot Skull
#SkyRojo is named after a sofa. It doesn't mean "red sky", but "red leatherette sofa". It's the one where the progatonists sit in the brothel. An original story from the screenwriters.
#HotSkull is named after the effects of the epidemic. Those sick words will make your head heat up, but the lead character seems to be immune. Based on a book by Turkish author Afลin Kum

In Hot Skull there's an epidemic hitting the world, but it's not respiratory: it is transmitted via voice. Solution? Don't listen! But how??

@WakelessRiver not sure what's worse - your approach or mine of never starting anything because I'm too tired to spend time and be disappointed.
When I find something I like I may watch it two times in a roll just because of how precious it is.
That's how I was with #GoodOmens and #OFMD. Not sure what you're looking for but besides those two, I can also recommend #HotSkull and #Station11 - both grabbed my attention from the start and kept me satisfied.
