	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"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. "
		Caryn James BBC	"With a spectacular, funny and chilling Kate Winslet (...) the captivating series is a comedy that never ignores the real-life, global dramas beneath it all. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"An irritating HBO series as a European tyrant whose cruelty is seldom interesting (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Laura Babiak The New York Observer	"A cutting political satire with a twisted romance at its center, The Regime makes for an enjoyably odd miniseries"
		Judy Berman Time	"[It] is a lot of skillfully produced fun, but it never delivers the shrewd political commentary its premise could support"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"'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. And then there’s Winslet"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"There’s no lack of ability here. But Tracy and his collaborators don’t quite seem to know what it is they’re satirizing, nor what tone they’re going for"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"Kate Winslet can do anything! But even this acting dynamo (...) can’t save this fractured political farce from drifting clumsily and calamitously into incoherence"
		Alison Herman Variety	"A thrilling satire of power and politics"
		Kelly Lawler USA Today	"Amusing sometimes, but cringey, confusing and a bit dull at others (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Joel Golby The Guardian	"Kate Winslet is funny every time in this bizarre political drama"
		Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"The Regime is a critique in a vacuum which makes it no critique at all, a reconstruction masquerading as deconstruction (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Brilliantly acted, HBO’s 'Regime' flirts with satire but lacks political bite"
		Gregory Lawrence The Wrap	"For those who want an entertaining, tonally adventurous miniseries to sink your teeth into, 'The Regime' is well worth a watch"
		Carly Lane Collider	"Part-dark satire, part-drama, The Regime offers shades of previous farcical takes on politics like Veep and The Great, but doesn't afford the audience nearly enough time to become as invested in its morally bankrupt characters"
		Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"'The Regime' struggles to find a rhythm, but eventually hits its stride as a subdued, bitterly funny political satire with a stellar turn from Winslet."
		Nandini Balial rogerebert.com	"When they’re written as flatly as those on HBO’s newest limited series, 'The Regime' even decent acting and intelligent costume, hair, and makeup design can’t save the show (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Amber Dowling The Globe and Mail	"Despite the tonal confusion, the performances are more than enough to keep you entertained and locked in for all six episodes"
		Lori Meek Ready Steady Cut	"Kate Winslet shines in this exquisitely deranged satire (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Kate Winslet's dictatorship dramedy falls flat (...) bleak and superficial new limited series"
		James Poniewozik The New York Times	"The real-life overtones may not be funny, but the execution is"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"Ms. Winslet earns our undivided attention, making the profoundly mad and unquestionably despicable Elena one of the esteemed actor’s major achievements"
		Martin Carr IGN	"[It] is a savage satire weighed down by ambition"
		Elijah Gonzalez Paste Magazine	"While never entirely unwatchable, its cast of thin characters generally makes its drama uneffecting, and most of its points about political systems feel played out "
		Coleman Spilde The Daily Beast	"Winslet has never had such a caustically funny role to chew on, and The Regime’s bold, bizarre satire is the perfect avenue for her to prove that even a substantiated career can benefit from a daring left turn."
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"'The Regime' weaves together brutal political satire, delirious comedy bits, and sublime performances to take viewers on a warped journey through the looking glass. "
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"Ultimately The Regime is a series desperate to say things but can only get as far as noticing them"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"A wonderfully disturbing dramatic comedy and a shockingly prescient comedic drama. This is a story that will keep you guessing until the very last scene"
