What did you think of the first episode of The Regime? I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

Neither am I—I really hope that it comes into its own and doesn't rely as much on the Veep and Succession house blend. Kinda digging Elena and Herbert's Kronk and Yzma thing, though.

#girl in cookie monster pajamas and her simp familiar is a dynamic of all time #one thing i loved about the death of stalin is that iannucci didn't just copy paste a satire of american or british politics into 1953 #he demonstrated an understanding of a distinct flavor of soviet-era satire—a chimera of literal and figurative gallows humor #i hope we get to see some of that here #that is to say—i hope it employs central europe as more than a set dressing and plays with cultural and historical context #anonymous #assbox #the regime
