The Regime

Kate Winslet and Guillaume Gallienne, in 'The Regime'.

In the reviews of this six-episode miniseries, opinions are divided in some aspects, but there is unanimity on one thing: Kate Winslet, its protagonist, is brilliant and is reason enough to watch this political satire.

Will Tracy, one of the screenwriters of

Succession

and the movie

The Menu

, signs the script for a story directed by Stephen Frears and Jessica Hobbs.

Kate Winslet plays the dictatorial chancellor of a fictitious European republic, which she runs from a luxury hotel that she has converted into a kind of personal Versailles and whose paranoia grows at the same time that the economy of her country collapses.

Hugh Grant, Martha Plimpton, Matthias Schoenaerts and Andrea Riseborough complete the cast.

Trailer for 'The Gentlemen: The Series'

Theo James, star of 'The Gentlemen: The Series'.

Without being exactly an adaptation or a

spin off

of the film of the same title, this series created, co-written and produced by filmmaker Guy Ritchie does recover the spirit of the film.

Theo James plays a man who unexpectedly inherits a huge estate from his father that comes with a huge cannabis empire.

Threats soon emerge in the form of thugs who want to get their share of the pie and take advantage of the new manager's inexperience, but he will learn quickly.

The violence, black humor and extreme characters common in Ritchie's films are also in this series.

Trailer in English for the series 'Mary & George'

Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine, stars of 'Mary & George'.

The story behind this period drama is real even though it may seem like a lie.

Mary Villiers raised her second son to make his way at court.

Her objective was to get as close as possible to King James I of England and, thus, ascend the social ladder.

So much so that the young man, George, became the king's lover and ended up being the first Duke of Buckingham.

Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine star in this series that combines historical drama, comedy and political

thriller

full of palace intrigue, sex and quite a bit of sass.

There are already those who have described it as a cross between

The Favorite

and

The Great

.

When and where to see it?

On Friday the 8th on SkyShowtime.

Manhunt: The hunt for the killer

Lili Taylor and Hamish Linklater, in the series 'Manhunt'.

This

thriller

thriller

around him .

Tobias Menzies, protagonist of the series, plays Edwin Stanton, a lawyer and politician who was the United States Secretary of War at the time.

Booth, an actor sympathetic to the Confederate cause, shot Lincoln in a theater a few days after the American Civil War had come to an end, putting the future of the country in check.

The president's assassin managed to flee and a wide deployment was launched to find him.

When and where to see it?

On Friday the 15th, Apple TV+ premieres the first two episodes, followed by a new one every week.

Such Brave Girls

Kat Sadler, creator and star of the series 'Such Brave Girls'.

Kat Sadler is the creator and star of this BBC comedy about a family made up of two sisters (the actresses are sisters in real life too) and their mother.

Although the official plot doesn't say much—an irreverent family comedy about a dysfunctional family that goes through life with little judgment and a peculiar sense of humor—critics have highlighted its honesty and how it manages to delve into dark places.

They also highlight Kat Sadler as a new comedic voice to keep in mind.

When and where to see it?

On Tuesday the 19th at Filmin.
