It’s a bleak look at the ways in which power corrupts, seduces, and seesaws that will leave you howling in laughter and twitching in discomfort in the same breath. .... The Regime is a twisted triumph. Read full review

The final episode, in particular, feels rushed, as if Tracy had a bunch of new ideas to explore and not enough time to do so. Having said that, “The Regime” is never boring, and the first few episodes are as sharply written as anything that’s been on HBO for a long time. Read full review

It’s plenty good — Winslet is never going to disappoint — but it’s not at the level of Iannucci’s work. Read full review

I wasn’t always sure what The Regime was doing, or why, but Winslet’s work, a complex blending of physical and psychological choices, kept the series somewhere between watchable and fascinating. Read full review

"The Regime", is a series of contradictions, wildly inconsistent in the course of a single episode. If you can get through the sluggish bits (particularly the last three of its six episodes), there's a lot of fun to be had until the bitter end of this absurd ride with Winslet and the rest of the talented cast.

The Observer (UK) Barbara Ellen

Sep 10, 2024

Throughout, the humour is blunted Armando Iannucci. The tone lurches alarmingly from absurdist to serious and back again. A plot about a Ukraine-esque invasion feels clumsy. Read full review

Don’t throw away your vote on The Regime, a ridiculous and misguided political satire that even Kate Winslet can’t salvage. Read full review
