Critics Consensus

Kate Winslet reigns supreme with another commanding performance even as The Regime's hold over its scabrously satirical tone proves wobbly.

Sarah Ditum

The Times (UK)

You can imagine The Regime was terribly fun to make. Put Winslet in a Perspex sedan! Hilarious! Fill the palace with potatoes! So droll! But if it hadn’t been for the plinky-plink Russian score, I’d have forgotten it was supposed to be a comedy.

Hugo Rifkind

The Times (UK)

The Regime is enormously funny, but it’s an unusual sort of funny, apt to make you goggle or gasp rather than laugh. To call it “dry” would be an understatement; it’s desiccated.

Katie Rosseinsky

Independent (UK)

The show can’t seem to work out exactly what it is trying to satirise, instead painting in broad strokes. Despite Winslet’s off-kilter charisma, it’s just not enough to have you pledging allegiance.

Rated: 3/5

Womentainment

This limited series is a political satire that is partly over-the-top yet dangerously familiar.

Rated: 4/5

It's a wicked commentary on the fickleness of love and what a leader can expect to happen to them if they believe in themselves blindly.

Rated: 5/5

HBO has called The Regime, the new show of which she is the protagonist, a dark comedy. It’s definitely dark, but it’s hard to laugh.

Watched the first episode. That's an hour of my life wasted. Was this really worth the effort of making?

Absolutely brilliant! Fantastic writing, smart, witty, bit of a dig at "how things are run", and the acting is top notch. Great cast.

There are comedies that try out astonishing new ideas, pair them with a sparkling script, engaging characters and engrossing story lines. This comedy is not one of them. It is clunky, laboured, perplexing and boring.
