    Im honestly quite shocked at how well rated Season 3 is.

    Season 1 i found amazingly funny. Season 2 was very good. Season 3 is nowhere near as funny. I barely laugh through a 30 minute episode. For the first few episodes. Making Jonah such a large part is a huge mistake. Hes very unfunny as anything more than a pop in character. The addition of a load of new characters around

    For the first few episodes. Making Jonah such a large part is a huge mistake. Hes very unfunny as anything more than a pop in character.

    The addition of a load of new characters around the country just does not work. They are badly scripted in a really awkward way. They do not act anywhere near realistically. The humor is just created by awkward forced situations.

    The great comedy of this show came from the VEEP and her team, in the VP office. The situations and mistakes they created and the few great characters who would appear.

    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

    Line for outrageous line, Veep is still a wickedly funny gut-buster. Yet while I could relate to Selina the perpetually marginalized chump, flailing to advance, Selina the stumping, power-grabbing candidate risks confusion.

    The show works because all of its actors seem so human, so likeable, despite the words coming from their mouths.

    The show's as cynical as ever, but it doesn't feel nearly as empty. Selina's more of an actual character--and has become an accomplished slinger of four-letter verbiage in her own right--and even if the team's screw-ups remain inevitable, the ways in which they screw up feel far less predictable.
