Kate Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts have a blast in this dark and hilarious satire that may not be that far from reality.

Critics are raving about Kate Winslets performance in the HBO series The Regime. See what else they have to say about the political satire.

The very black comedy - shown to international buyers this week during the London TV Screenings festival - echoes the ruckus last year which saw Huw Edwards suspended from his job at the BBC.

The sharp but predictable limited series works best when it focuses on its central odd couple, played by Winslet and Matthias Schoenaerts. The Regime premieres March 3 on HBO.

"The Regime" is a new HBO series starring Kate Winslet, from "Succession" alum Will Tracy. Critics praised Winslet's performance as an autocrat.

Kate Winslet is running things — on and off the set of her new TV show, "The Regime." In the HBO show premiering Sunday, she plays Elena Vernham — also known as The Chancellor, the ruler of a fictional country in Europe, possibly near Poland. Winslet, who is also an executive producer on the show, says she's never been offered a character like this "in her life."
