	Author	Review
United States	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. "	POS
United Kingdom	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)"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"An irritating HBO series as a European tyrant whose cruelty is seldom interesting (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	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"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"[It] is a lot of skillfully produced fun, but it never delivers the shrewd political commentary its premise could support"	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	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"	NEU
United States	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"	NEG
United States	Alison Herman Variety	"A thrilling satire of power and politics"	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"Amusing sometimes, but cringey, confusing and a bit dull at others (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Joel Golby The Guardian	"Kate Winslet is funny every time in this bizarre political drama"	NEU
United States	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)"	NEG
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Brilliantly acted, HBO’s 'Regime' flirts with satire but lacks political bite"	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	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"	NEU
Canada	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."	POS
United States	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)"	NEG
Canada	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"	NEU
United States	Lori Meek Ready Steady Cut	"Kate Winslet shines in this exquisitely deranged satire (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Kate Winslet's dictatorship dramedy falls flat (...) bleak and superficial new limited series"	NEG
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"The real-life overtones may not be funny, but the execution is"	NEU
United States	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"	POS
United States	Martin Carr IGN	"[It] is a savage satire weighed down by ambition"	NEU
United States	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 "	NEG
United States	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."	POS
United States	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. "	POS
United States	Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"Ultimately The Regime is a series desperate to say things but can only get as far as noticing them"	NEG
Canada	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"	POS
