Chimerica (2019)
9/10
grateful the story exists
14 May 2019
As a person who had no idea of the protests in china, this was enlightening. I think that the purpose of the story was to inform viewers such as myself of the event.

As a viewer who did not know what I was in for, this was really good. I enjoyed the Narration of the story. It could have been more impactful from the perspective of the Chinese character Zhang Lin. It really felt like the beginning of an american story instead of the conclusion of a Chinese story.

As for the comments on the lingual inaccuracies, I think it must be challenging for the directors to find the exact dialects... so I'm not really bothered by that.

When it comes to the acting I really enjoyed the acting. I think it was not overdone. I think american shows overact sometimes and there was just enough tension for me to stay interested throughout the series.

I do think that as a viewer I was a bit taken by Tessa. I really enjoyed Sophie Okonedo's performance. I know it was not a main character, but I think is worth mentioning.

Overall, Bravo!! would love for the story to get a second Season or a Part 2 Thank you to the entire team for telling this story.
