Netflix’s New Series Hot Head Review [Spoilersız]

First impressions of the highly anticipated series are generally positive. On Netflix and many digital streaming platforms fantasy and sci-fi Turkish productions close to the genre have been published before, but Hot Head first dystopia our project. So the expectation is high. We know that previous examples were not very successful.

In fact, we are often the ones who criticize and make fun of us the most. Because science-fiction and fantasy genres, for which we do not have many examples in this field that we can refer to, have always been risky productions for us. For Hot Head by trying the untested to the things we do a new breath Let’s say it was brought. If you wish, let’s move on to the review of the series.

You can watch the Hot Head series and more on the Netflix platform.

A virus spreads to the world and events develop.

We’ve all been like this for years. apocalyptic We are watching the productions, and we can say that we have learned the concept of such a pandemic, although it has not been that advanced for the last two years. Although it seems as if such a work has emerged by being influenced by the pandemic process when you hear and watch it, it is actually an adaptation of the same name as the series. book, 2016 Published in. The series is a production that was revealed at the end of 3 years. In other words, we cannot say that it was affected by the disease period.

We underestimate the power of words.

In the series, it spread through communication and turned into a worldwide epidemic. ARDS well “snapping” disease aforementioned. People who are somehow exposed to abduction after a while “to stall” so they are starting to get infected. They are talking non-stop, making meaningless sentences from each other. Everyone is safe from this. wearing headphones continues his life. Our series is about 8 years after this disease turned into an epidemic.

Hot Head is actually an expression associated with our character.

Our lead role Murat Siyavus and a linguist named himself, despite all these laziness, does not get the disease. But in the head area of ​​our character “extraordinarily high fever” there is an effect they say. Of course, our protagonist wants to find a cure for his condition and begins to tell the story. That’s why the name Hot Head was a meaningful choice.

Our character’s own internal dialogues have visually reflected the chaos in his mind well.

I would like to emphasize that there is a little more improvement in terms of visual effects, since we did not smile in previous productions. Even the use of light and colors in a dark atmosphere, very well thought out. First of all, when we look at the subject, we adapt to the atmosphere of the series gradually, rather than quickly, since an unusual epidemic environment has been created and we are unfamiliar with such an environment.

In addition, we see Istanbul in such a state that we can clearly see the work in the decor and spaces that do not question the reality of the series.

The characters and formations in the series are, at first glance, the backbone of this kind of production.

In the series, oppressive and fed by chaos as an authoritarian institution SMK (Epidemic Control Agency); who are fed up with this situation and do not want to submit to evil, rebel group mostly made up of youth from the community plus 1 There are two main formations. These two polar opposites reminded me of the events of the 1960s.

Speaking of SMK, those who watched the Fi series will remember, the name of Osman Sonant’s character in the Fi series, who plays our lead role. Sadik Murat Kolhan. Mert Baykal directed both series. Of course, is this just a deliberate detail? Is it a nice coincidence? we don’t know.

The details between the story, the place, the decorations and the line are beautiful; but the world of the series is somewhat limited.

All a worldwide epidemic but we only see Istanbul from almost every angle. The story is told from place to place, only around the events that took place in another city. The shortcoming in this matter is actually the same thing. again and again After a while we hear it from every character, “Okay, now go ahead, give me another information, what happened?” You mean as a spectator. In the company of a devastated Istanbul, we see that there are still things that remain the same.

For example, we see that a discussion program can be held with two or three speakers even when there is a disease that spreads through communication. Everyone is wearing headphones And when they take off the headphones, we see the headphones on some characters’ arms, just like those who wear the mask on their arm during the pandemic period. With different materials in almost most places sound insulation We see it done. People are used to living with it. After a while, you focus on this reality and the narrative of the story.

We have nothing to say about the acting, but the script could have been handled a little better.

One of the most interesting details is the sentences made by those who abuse it. even really by listening carefully It is seen that these sentences, which are well-known from the Second New poems, serve their purpose. Instead of being infected, the expression “snap” is used. When we hear the sentences made by the abusers, we also question the reality.

Two meaningful sentences for our normal characters in this series of names that we are eagerly waiting to see. significant dialogue could have been written actually. Since it is a book adaptation, it has not been touched much in order not to spoil the story. However, there could have been a few sentences that we could understand better with a fine touch.

Of course, trying something that has not been tried before carries extra risks for Turkish productions.

You might be wondering if they were able to handle it, would we be disappointed? As a viewer, I thought of that too. But I can say very clearly, Although it’s a risky business, Hot Head, among our productions in the sector one of the most different and unusual jobs I can say.

We all love, mansion, customhonor, murder, revengeWhen I say distorted human relations, that those who publicly broadcast this in the name of drawing attention to violence against women, are proud of saving the world. even for them to try something so innovative in a setup deserves applause.

We are watching a promising production and a beautiful story, accompanied by metaphors, in a dark atmosphere where everyone thinks there is hope.
