THE REGIME Episode 6 Finale Recap | Ending Explained

I was impressed with this show. The acting, the sets, the writing, all exceeded my expectations. Winslet's Chancellor is ridiculous, monstrous, & pitiful at the same time. Schoenaert's Zubak mirrors her in the most unexpected ways. It was ultimately a dark comedy, but left me sad in the end. The conclusion I reached was that these two damaged people brought out the very best in each other, but it wasn't enough as the very worst in each other always seemed to eclipse it. The corruption of power is stronger than even love.

What I find chilling is how the country immediately forgave her after she single handedly ruined the economy and started a civil war. I get that Zubak is the scapegoat but wow just goes to show how we are so easily led by our leaders.

Just like in Titanic, Kate Winslet offs the strong guy that saved her ...

❤️❤️❤️ Ms. Kate Winslet, magnificent actress, and beautiful lady indeed 👏👏👏👏

Nikki was probably well aware that not all intercourse is sexual. Diotima and Socrates.

I really think this type of ending is not justitified considering the events leading up to the finale. If you want to make the ”bad regimes will keep staying in power, because money is all that matters”-ending, they should not have made the regime seemingly crumble so thouroughly as the series progressed. So when the regime was ”saved” and the whole country was back at her side and just felt cheap, cynical and unrealistic. Also getting support from larger militant powers are good at making these types of regimens get into power, but not so much for staying in power. More likely is that the more powerful entities Will try to make a deal with the opposition or the new government because they obviously see where the wind blows. It just felt like the writers were like ”Well america helped fascist regimes in South america 50 years ago and Iraq is sure is a mess…..so yeah america would totally do this type of thing today.” It also has the infuriating america-centric thing that whatever america want, good or bad, it comes true. So yeah, liked this series for the most part, but the ending let me seriously down.

I think this series is a psy-op :) In the center European country the palace is filled with black mold and in the end the white and clean USA controlled room is the opposite. While everyone knows that that does not represent the truth and/or reality, it can work in the subconscious of most viewers who do not think about these tactics. The usual China bashing and whoring oneself to the USA policies/desires as we all know them is implemented in the series as the unavoidable outcome (but it isn't so in reality of course). Alas the film makers make it look as if the USA is always right and the countries in which USA interferes are always wrong and rotten to the core. Indeed a psy-op it is. Also the series is absurd satire until the last episode. The ending basically negates everything of before that. It was all a theater play, by everyone involved.

So did the zubec knew at the end laying in bed with her that she will be betraying him? Did he know he would be sacrificed ?

You got the politics about right—except that Keplinger might have been a competent leader, and wrongly deposed. As for Nick and Elena, that may have been a marriage of convenience. Except that he came back—which means he probably loved her. Or else he just didn’t want to give up the cushy “job” of political spouse, and the access to (some semblance of) power. His choice to forgive the affair and stay married (there was no mention of divorce, btw) reminds us of the Clintons. Maybe it was meant to. Did she love him? Or at least like him? She seemed to. (Heck, most women would!) As for Oskar—if he survived, I would expect Elena to adopt him. As a public show of “generosity”.

Wtf just happened? So what now?

Just a few comical moments in Episode 6 to lighten up the mood after that poignant ending. You can add if you want. - Herbert to Elena: “We need to go somewhere empty where nobody will ever look.” (Next scene: They arrive at one of Nicky's poetry centers) - Elena to Laskin: “You can’t sell a fucking omelet… You don’t have the numbers, do you, piggy? You’ve got a broken constituency, haven’t you, piggy-wiggy?” - SCREEEEEEEAAAAMMMM (Elena while being forced to inhale from a canister with BLACK MOULD written in black Sharpee🤣) Shoutout to The Rooster (the man who gave Elena and Herbert a ride and then sold them to Laskin’s group).. he really killed it 🤣
