Brata

This is the first streaming series by Indonesian media-services provider. What they did was rather unusual for Indonesian drama. Bringing crime theme with serious atmosphere, good music, good acting, are such a brave move.

The downsides are that they probably a little bit too serious. lack of humor and fun. The writers are trying too hard to complicate the story by adding many unnecessary subplots and fighting to almost every characters which It cause the plot became too convoluted.

Also, what really bothers me most are the camera angles. They could have really been better. I mean this was supposed to be crime drama not soap opera on television. Most of the camera angles are taken from static medium or long shots while could have really add the suspense and create tension if they took it by close/extreme close up or over the shoulder shot.

In conclusion, it's not perfect series but I really appreciate the effort. I'm looking forward to season 2.

I have watched few Indonesian crime series or movie before but nothing can captivate me longer on screen than this one. Some plot twists are surprising while there are few plot holes too but still I really enjoyed watching the drama. Oka Antara is such a good talent, his acting is flawless. He successfully portray Bratas, an emotional and determined police officer with a natural gesture. Not forget to mention the other supporting roles performance is also stunning. Overall I will recommend this series to any crime and thriller enthusiasts. Also, I cannot wait to watch the next season. See you again Brata.

I really enjoy the whole series, although too many plot holes and quite a short conclusion for a one season. Very unusual for Indonesian series, but this is promising. Looking forward to next season.
