Elena tries to keep it together in The Regime TV show on HBO. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like The Regime is cancelled or renewed for season two (in this case, we know it’s a limited series). Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of The Regime here.
An HBO political satire series, The Regime TV show stars Kate Winslet, Matthias Schoenaerts, Guillaume Gallienne, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton, and Hugh Grant. The story takes place over a year in a crumbling regime’s palace in a fictional Central Europe autocracy. Elena Vernham (Winslet) is a former physician and the country’s current chancellor. She hasn’t been outside the palace for some time, has become increasingly paranoid, and finds her position threatened by domestic turmoil. Meanwhile, Corporal Herbert Zubak (Schoenaerts) is a disgraced and volatile soldier appointed to be Elena’s “personal water diviner.” He quickly becomes her trusted advisor. Other characters include Nicholas (Gallienne), her French husband; Agnes (Riseborough), the palace manager and Elena’s right-hand woman; Judith Holt (Plimpton), a US Senator and incumbent Secretary of State who protects American interests in the country; and Edward Keplinger (Grant), the country’s former chancellor who was ousted seven years ago.
