The Regime: Miniseries | Ratings & Reviews

Winslet’s show

Kate Winslet turns in a predictably superb performance, one that lets her run the gamut with her acting skillset. There may be plenty of other talent dotted around, but this is Winslet’s show—taking centre stage for more than just some wobbly karaoke. Read full article

Steve Newall

"A political satire that’s weird but not very good."

CNNCNN

"Kate Winslet shines, but the political satire is shaky."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"May be timely, but it’s not particularly funny, edifying, or insightful."

Entertainment WeeklyEntertainment Weekly

"It’s dark and compelling viewing and frequently analogous to the real world."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"An absurdist political comedy that is uncomfortably close to home."

BBCBBC

"Kate Winslet can’t salvage HBO’s crushing political farce."

IndieWireIndieWire

"The real-life overtones may not be funny, but the execution is."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"Even decent acting and intelligent costume, hair, and makeup design can’t save the show."

RogerEbert.comRogerEbert.com

"Crumbles under uninspired political commentary and weak gags."

PastePaste

"Kate Winslet stars in irritating HBO series as a European tyrant whose cruelty is seldom interesting."

Chicago Sun-TimesChicago Sun-Times

"More like a burlesque character study rather than the ironic critique HBO flaunts it as."

The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail

"Amusing sometimes, but cringey, confusing and a bit dull at others."

USA TodayUSA Today

"A series desperate to say things but can only get as far as noticing them."

VultureVulture

"Tracy and his collaborators don’t quite seem to know what it is they’re satirising, nor what tone they’re going for."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"It's the delicious push and pull of the central relationship that keeps you watching."

TV GuideTV Guide

"Works as a political satire because, like Succession, it lampoons people while remembering their humanity."

Black Girl NerdsBlack Girl Nerds

"Wants to occasionally jab at its characters when it should be indisputably skewering them."

ColliderCollider

"Even (Winslet) can’t save this fractured political farce from drifting clumsily and calamitously into incoherence."

ABCABC

"(It) soon feels overwhelming as numerous ideas all jockey for attention."

IGNIGN

"A critique in a vacuum which makes it no critique at all."

Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune

"Ms. Winslet earns our undivided attention, making the profoundly mad and unquestionably despicable Elena one of the esteemed actor’s major achievements."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"A lot of skillfully produced fun, but it never delivers the shrewd political commentary its premise could support."
