Veep is the single most improved series on television. Read full review

Louis-Dreyfus's performance--which, like Congress, can be divided into two houses, Crackling Charm and Hysterical Ego--still drives the show, but we're getting more realistic sense of political gamesmanship. [22 Apr 2013, p.45]

The show is smart--smarter than most on network television--and it has life. Read full review

The wit is rapid-fire, and keeping up with Louis-Dreyfus as she sprints between appointments, all shaken up like a soda bottle about to explode, is good fun. But the humor is so meta, it's easier to find yourself thinking "This is funny" than actually laughing. Read full review

Luis Sanchez

The cast's highly attuned instincts for knowing when to press complicated dialogue into kinetic banter and when to dial back to find the subtlety in a one-liner joke is what keeps Veep's humor vital. Read full review

Veep offers uncomfortable comedy at its most sardonic. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the first season of Veep ended, I was really looking forward to the second season premiere. We were able to enjoy two extra episodes and an outstanding season finale. My favorite episode was in this season and i think I watched it about ten times. Veep is one of the funniest show on television--once they win the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, they will be the funniest show on television--and I can't wait for season 3, and the return of the some of the funniest people on television, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the funniest woman ever to be on television. With the possibility of at least two more seasons, with POTUS leaving the ticket, I wouldn't be surprised if we see Selena as president by or before the series finale which I hope to not see anytime soon.… Expand

So glad VEEP is back! One of the smartest comedies on television. Julia Louis- Drefus delivers each line with perfection. This is a fast paced office like comedy with nonstop laughs.

An encouraging and noticeable improvement over its previous season, Veep shines as a typical HBO comedy with the bonus attraction of the magnificent Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Veep's second season takes everything that was great about season one and makes it sharper, more biting and (most importantly) funnier.

This is the lamest show I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe it's considered to be a comedy. It hasn't made me laugh even once, ever. Don't watch it
