Chimerica

I find the criticisms of chinese born readers interesting but not unusual. Very proud people and those that have immigrated and usually unaware of how them have been indoctrinated. Most are unaware of the truths of much of post-war china both internally and with its neighbors. Of course, their are many dramas criticizing all countries in the western world , US and European. and any dramas containing non-english speakers always have questionable use and pronunciation of the foreign language involved. The use of french, polish, swedish, russian in english dramas are simply laughable. so this odd use of chinese in this drama is just normal. Try listening to the use of english in chinese movies by actors playing the role of westerners. we all should not take offense so easily. nothing critical is intended here in my opinion of the chinse

I think the world, particularly residents of China, need periodic reminding of the Tiananmen square massacre, to counter the Chinese regime's continuing efforts to erase this dreadful event from history.

Whatever the artistic merits of this series, it is serving a valuable reminder of the true face of the Chinese government.

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.

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.

I think just because the Chinese in the show doesn't conform to your view of standard Chinese doesn't mean they're foreigner or born overseas either. First you should look at how many dialect does Chinese have and without the most basic understanding of how different they're it's silly to say what you have said. What if they were speaking haika or hokin? What if it's Manchu? It's disappointing review given really

I think the show is a great intro for Chinese who do not even have access to the basic fact of the event and start understanding what ideas are those people fighting for. Ideas that aren't even allowed to mention without being deleted on their social media
