    One of the most brilliant TV shows out there. Not to mention its pretty hilarious too. The cast this season has been insane so far and its only 1 episode in. I can't wait to see where they take this show from here on out. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is a living comedic legend and watching her completely destroy her scenes is amazing. Im so glad this show is back on the air!

    One of the most underrated comedies out there. It has consistently delivered each season, with the same humour and style. I haven't been let down yet and this season is already off to a great start. Hilarious show, great acting, do yourself a favour and binge watch this now!

    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

    I'm glad to say that Veep made my days so much better. The entire cast are truly amazing and hilarious. so excited the show back with the new season. Its easy to say that Julia Louis-Dreyfus are one of my favorite actress.

    This show is perfect for what it tries to do, you can not like it, if you don't it's not because of the quality it's because of the topics. There is no other TV show like this.

    Now into its fifth season Veep shows no signs of slowing down and remains amongst the best comedies on air.

    Estupenda comedia. Es destacable que esta serie haya completado su quinta temporada con la misma calidez del comienzo o incluso mayor aún. Una comedia inteligente, con personajes atractivos y divertidos y una Julia Louis-Dreyfus que no para de crecer en el personaje de Selina Meyer y que continúa derrochando talento. Altamente recomendable.

    The TV Guide review has it right. Something is wrong this season. I have seen seasons1-4 at least 10 times and loved, loved the witty dialogue one would imagine really goes on in DC. Season 5 has Selina so mean and unapproachable with endless vulgarity. The C-word episode seemed like a contest among the writers on how many times they could say it in 24 minutes.

I see now that the director (or someone big) has changed and it really shows and shows poorly. This was my favorite series and season 5 is no Emmy contender. It's just not fun to watch anymore.… Expand

    Veep doesn’t have as many pointed one-liners as it did in the past (could the absence of creator Armando Iannucci be the reason?) but it still boasts a cast that’s as sharp as ever. The addition of John Slattery as a possible love interest is clever, but some installments get bogged down by a parade of guest stars trying to share a bit of the fun.

    The pressure [from the recount] brings out the worst in characters who have never shied from revealing their basest natures. Unfortunately, it also brings out the clumsiest in the show's writers, straining to one-up their own breathtaking cynical vulgarity with jokes in need for a rewrite. [2-8 May 2016, p.18]

    Its fifth season is in fine, familiar form.
