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.
If The Regime is rarely as funny as a zippy satire should be (it doesn't have a ton of actual jokes, and the comedy is often met with more of an exhale-through-your-nose acknowledgement than an actual laugh), it's the delicious push and pull of that relationship that keeps you watching.

A hilarious outing with a sharp wit and excellent cast. Highly recommend and can’t wait to see where they go with it

Watching Winslet tear into a character like this is a good enough reason to watch, though as with so many black comedies the tone is a struggle, even in the hands of experienced directors like Stephen Frears (The Queen) and Jessica Hobbs (The Crown).
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.
While there’s a seemingly fertile idea in watching how an autocracy crumbles from within and without, as unchecked power breeds a kind of insanity, the more cerebral aspects largely get lost in the show’s eccentricities, overwhelming any sense of nuance.
Kate Winslet can do anything! But even this acting dynamo, giving her all to the role of a fictional European dictator who’s basically Putin in skirts, can’t save this fractured political farce from drifting clumsily and calamitously into incoherence.
Don’t throw away your vote on The Regime, a ridiculous and misguided political satire that even Kate Winslet can’t salvage.
Not funny enough and very weird when it gets serious. Kate Winslet delivers a performance out of her comfort zone, but the story doesn't do her justice. The plot is so obvious with its geopolitical narrative: every government is bad. And the focus between the president and the soldier was unfortunate; I didn't care about it. Still has some good and bonkers moments.

Definitely written by ChatGPT.
What a waste of the best actors and set designers in the business.
The "prestige TV" cast and director interviews are the most painful part. So much sincerity, money and ceremony for a project void of meaning, or commentary on anything at all.
Big, bad, expensive art insults us all.
