Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams

Having spent 20 years in Indonesia much of that in Jakarta, this show gives an accurate representation of the poor and rich, demons told as stories in the evening to scare children. I am only a couple of shows in but it is story telling at its finest. The translations could be better. They are using the Jakarta dialect of Indonesia which gives the show a more realistic. I hope NETFLIX continues to find more Asian horror shows like this one. These are shows we can all relate too, nightmares we can all watch together. Get some popcorn turn down the lights watch and enjoy. It may not be the Twilight Zone but it's close.

A series with an amazing plot story, make you thinking make you connecting the episode with another episode, and the cinematography its like your eyes was relaxed with this series. Joko Anwar is the best indonesian director who i loved. This series was make indonesian step to another lever, to the higher level of filmmaking, because so far i know, indonesian film or series is about horror or horror. Superhero, sci-fi movies is new step for indonesian. I assume the series will be good but some episodes was have bad cgi and its look peculiar but for first sci-fi series in indonesian with own minus i think its good.

I'm a South Korean and this was my first Indonesian show and it literally blew my mind. Amazing!! This unique show deals with social issues in the form of horror and science fiction with mind-blowing twists and amazing visual effects and acting. It reminded me of Black Mirror, but in a very unique way.

The images delicately show the reality (both bright and dark) of Indonesian society. I could feel as if I am in Jakarta and I could deeply relate with the social issues of the country.

It deals with such a variety of issues like poverty, domestic violence, ableism, ageism, child abuse, and etc, in the form of horror and science fiction. This way, the story gives you so much emotional impact that you just cannot stop watching it.

I watched the show overnight and finished all of the episodes in a day. I could not even sleep. Amazing work. I don't think I can get over from this show for a while...

I dont usually leave review for a series but I feel I have to for this one.

This is a departure from the highly polished western series. It has unique dingy aesthetics that is special to Indonesian movies like the raid or satan's slave that is distinct from high budget productions. The dialogue maybe awkward at times but the story and idea is superb and the acting is decent.

The dub quality is excellent and you can see that each episodes is produced with passion. There is some aspect that western audience might not be able to relate to because its uniquely Indonesian but give it a whirl, it wont disappoint you.

I found this series surprisingly fresh and unlike anything I have seen before. It may have similarities to cabinet of curiosities and black mirror in its concept, but it differs in the way I'm which it brings everything to a close. It highlights the economic struggles in Indonesia but also the difficulties we face as humans in daily life, thereby crossing borders and uniting us as one, no matter where we reside on this planet. A good watch indeed! I hope nexflix endorse more shows like this in the future as it is right up my alley. I have watched plenty of Korean shows before but never anything from Indonesia. I must say I am impressed.
