It’s hard to take our eyes off Kate Winslet on a regular day, but the first trailer for The Regime is mesmerizing — and we’re not sure if in a good way. It’s intriguing, that’s for sure. And it’s not the kind of role we’re used to seeing Winslet in, though the actress can certainly pull it off.
But the show, which looks to be an exploration of power, is also the kind of absurd and pointed political criticism that is both necessary and easier to digest in this format than it is as just news. And just for that, we will be watching. Well, for that and Winslet. It’s quite a combo.
You can check out the trailer below:
THE REGIME tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel.
The Regime premieres March 3rd on HBO.
