It is a series of conflicts fought by a man working as a news photographer. This man is trying to fight a real battle with the reality he is facing unexpectedly, as he tries to save his career from collapse. When the man is accused of forging a picture of his award-winning image, things seem to turn upside down as the man tries to fight against everything that happens before it's too late.
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.
The two narratives seem oddly grafted, diverging in tone, but writer Lucy Kirkwood deserves some credit for not merely sticking to a western perspective.
