An example of this was Succession, which in 2023 alone won six awards in the Emmy drama category. Or Game of Thrones, which won Best Drama Series for four consecutive years, in addition to totaling 59 Emmys won over its eight seasons.
We watched the first episode of the miniseries The Regime and below we will provide some relevant information that reveals whether or not this Max release is worth checking out, without spoilers.
History 6r4t5f
In this first episode, we learn a little about the day-to-day life of the authoritarian leader and her team amidst the daily activities carried out in an old hotel chosen by Elena herself to take over.
In the first moments, we see one of the team's advisors notice on her smartphone a news story about the butcher from Zona Cinco. Its about Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a soldier who will now occupy the position of Elena's personal humidity meter and who previously participated in a massacre against protesters.
This occupation is due to the fact that Kate Winslet's character is a hypochondriac and is afraid of dying from lung failure, just like her father did. Therefore, there is a large team busy ensuring both her safety and well-being.
However, insecurity and fear of rejection contribute to the leader's decline in power. We realized that she is increasingly weakened after a protest invaded her room. Herbert's at this moment is very important, as it is through this opportunity that they create a strong partnership.
The soldier is an essential part of Elena's change in posture. After some very harsh and blunt advice, she decides not to act peacefully and sets her goals according to her authoritarian vision and with a total focus on patriotism.
main highlights 596j68
Perhaps the absurd and mocking arguments remind us a little of the character of Selina Meyer de Veep (2012–2019), but Elena has a different mood and is surrounded by an atmosphere that doesn't closely resemble the aforementioned series as a whole.
In general, the character Elena may even resemble other political leaders, but her personality and the context in which she is inserted are different and arouse curiosity regarding the direction this story will take. Despite all the authoritarianism and abuse of power, we also see a woman who is completely fragile and who wants in every way to be loved by the nation.
All this complexity and versatility that Kate Winslet brings to this character is a great success from series creator Will Tracy, the mind behind Succession (2018–2023). He is also co-creator and executive producer of The Last OG (2018-present) and the late-night comedy show Late Night with Seth Meyers (2014-present).
Actress Kate Winslet, who became well known in films such as Titanic (1997) and The reader (2008), he has also starred in 2 HBO series: Mildred Pierce (2011) and Easttown (2021). Both productions won the Emmy for Best Actress in a Miniseries in their respective award years.
The coldness and resilience of Matthias Schoenaerts' character, as well as Guillaume Gallienne, who plays Elena's husband, and the intriguing apathy of the British actress and producer's character Andrea Riseborough are also worth noting. Finally, the cast also features special appearances by Hugh Grant e Martha plimpton.
Technical Aspects 6e1j5o
The script presents the characters in a Cartesian and subtle way. The photography in the first moments works with the predominance of very cold colors, especially when we meet the characters of Matthias Schoenaerts, Andrea Riseborough and other advisors who are part of the palace.
However, when the protagonist appears on the scene we are taken by very strong and vibrant colors. This change is quite timely and pertinent, as it maximizes the power that the character has or would need to have in the eyes of those who judge an image of trust to govern a nation.
The regime It has the same level of quality as other series that filled HBO's Sunday night slot. There is a balance between satire and absurdity and we are surprised by severe reasons, at the same time that there are situations of shame on the part of others and comical enough to bring a certain lightness to the topics covered.
Here in this production we see the presence of typical British humor that is shown through subtleties and shocking situations. The opening brings this whole proposal of government depreciation and restructuring, whether with the arrival of a new leader or with the decline of those already in a position of public power.
The soundtrack maintains all the dynamism, elegance and tension that the series proposes. It is also necessary to highlight the costumes and the location in very harmonious environments that surprise us with baroque architecture, characteristics that also highlight the series The Golden Age (2022 – present) available on the same platform streaming.
Conclusion 60664y
The Regime is a 6-episode miniseries that every Max subscriber or who has access to HBO can watch weekly. The first episode itself attracts attention not only because of the presence of Kate Winslet, but because of the entire cast that presents characters with strong personalities and full nuances for a plot with touches of satirical humor and lines that require deep reflection.
This occurs while all the absurdities and authoritarianism that border on no sense present in Elena's behavior serve as a warning about our political choices. The end of the first episode, which received the title victory day, is quite exciting and arouses the curiosity to witness the new directions of this new chancellor of Central Europe.
