There are interesting dichotomies explored in Chimerica... However, while Kirkwood's witty dialogue keeps the pace whipping along, the drama is not without its clichés.

The series ending is fantastic, as is the lesson (vague spoiler alert) that you can see a photograph, but not entirely understand it. Three stars for the opening episode, but four overall.
