'An authoritarian regime is about to unravel'

Whether your reaction is 'I wish' or 'not gonna happen', this trailer is sparking some buzz. US TV network HBO outlines 'The Regime' as a six-episode limited series, from 'Succession' duo Will Tracy and Frank Rich and 'The Queen' director Stephen Frears - both huge hits - which "tells the story of one year within the walls of the palace of a modern European regime as it begins to unravel". Nothing like a bit of political satire on the box to take our minds off - or perhaps to draw attention to - governance unravelling around us in real time, right? Fans of Kate Winslet are already salivating at the prospect of the British actress scooping awards for this lead role, with Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts as her confidant, Brits Hugh Grant and Andrea Riseborough, and US actress Martha Plimpton ramping up the star wattage. What effect does the trailer have on you - does it make you want to watch the series on on-demand video-streaming service Max (HBO Max), or have you seen enough?
