The regime

Kate Winslet and Guillaume Gallienne in The Regime.

Reviews of this six-part miniseries differ on a number of points, but there is agreement on one thing: Kate Winslet, its protagonist, is brilliant and reason enough to watch this political satire. Will Tracy, one of the screenwriters of Succession and the film The Menu, signs the script for a story by Stephen Frears and Jessica Hobbs. Kate Winslet plays the dictatorial chancellor of a fictional European republic, which she runs from a luxury hotel that she has turned into a kind of personal Versailles, and whose paranoia grows in tandem with the collapse of her country's economy. Hugh Grant, Martha Plimpton, Matthias Schoenaerts and Andrea Riseborough complete the cast.
