Chimerica

Although it is fiction and based on a play, I'm sure that it would not make great viewing for people with strong political views.

Personally I watched it as a neutral and I liked how they have adapted it to be set around the time of the 2016 US election.

It's not a crime to be on the street. It's not a crime to raise your voice.

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.

As a Chinese lives in the UK, I clearly remember what exactly happened during the time. I had a close family member being shot at Tian An Men Square on the day and did not dare to go to hospital for treatment. The streets were blocked with military tanks, some of the tanks were burning. It was like a war zone. People were living in great fears, and were never been told of the truth of how many civilians and students were killed.

Bad journalist I have read all reviews for this mini-series. Some I agree with and some are just odd. The first thing you read on the screen is that it is a fiction story about a true event. What bothered me the most is the stupidity of the journalist who selfishly put everyone in danger, and not learning from his mistakes. Call it naïve, or just being American, this journalist is so reckless that I really don't know how he managed to get into Syria or china at that time and survive. Overall, I liked the story. I believe the oppression in china is worse than what we have seen in the series. And about the Chinese speaking the Chinese, well, for me it was perfect because I don't speak the language.
