What Are the Critics Saying About Hot Skull?
Hot Skull does not yet have an official critics rating but has an average audience score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. The series also has a user score of 7.4/10 on IMDB. Viewers have appreciated the depiction of complex characters and find the plotline engrossing.
James Delingpole from The Spectator writes, “On the downside, it’s a bit depressing, with relentlessly grey cityscapes… On the upside, it’s Turkish which means that you get a completely different, original and perhaps more honest satirical slant on the crazy world we’re living in.”
Decider’s Joel Keller says, “It’s that hopefulness, which we see when he looks at the woman at the abandoned bus shelter, or the flower poking through the concrete, that will carry this series.”
