Surprisingly, Tinggal Meninggal serves up dark comedy, satire, and mental health themes like a pro. It’s not just fun to watch you also get pulled into Gema’s super messy headspace. He’s weird, kinda nuts, talks to himself, has no friends, and comes from a morally broken family. Plus, the whole “breaking the 4th wall” thing really works here it makes you feel like you’re right there with him, watching his bizarre little world spiral.
