VEEP (HBO) TV Show • Page 7

Splett is the funniest character and it's not close.

 

Got all the usual Emmy noms plus Matt Walsh for supporting actor! Would have preferred Timothy Simons but Walsh is great too.

 

Good for Matt Walsh though, he grew up just a town over from me.

 

Just finished the season. Another great one. So interested to see what plays out next year.

 

Glasses make me look weak. It's like a wheelchair for the eye.

 

best line ever

 

HBO's 'Veep' Season 6 Sets April Premiere

april 16th. no silicon valley date yet

 

Decided to finally start this show since the season is premiering next month. Watched the entire first season today, and definitely really enjoyed it, and more so as it went on, but I wouldn't go farther than that. I'm guessing it gets better? That's what the IMDB ratings of the episodes lead me to believe at least

 

The first season is the weakest one. It absolutely gets better as it goes.

 

The inclusion of Ben, Kent, and eventually Richard help raise the bar significantly. This show tends to work best the more personalities are bouncing off each other

 

"Oh great here comes Eeyore."

 

The cloud botherer

 

Tall McCartney

 

Jolly Green Jizz Face

 

The pointless giant

 

Hagrid's nutsack

 

Just finished the fourth season and I can't fucking believe I didn't start watching this sooner. It's so hilarious, the cast is great, and I feel like I'm genuinely learning shit about politics lol. Gonna start S5 tomorrow then I'll be all caught up

 

It's been said multiple times that, as far as tv is concerned, this show is probably the closest thing you'll get to the actual world of American politics

 

They've been showing the new season trailer on HBO recently, and it's legit funnier than most of the comedies I watch

 

The Wire is much closer to real politics than Veep. However, Veep does do a good job at showing the inherent falseness of the public image they show to voters.

 

Actually I take that back. Obviously the west wing is the most accurate

 

Has anyone watched the British version called The Thick Of It? Honestly so funny, I would recommend it if you like VEEP. My favourite line from it is "Come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off". Peter Capaldi is just outstanding on it.

 

The Thick of It was such a fantastic show. The episode with inquiry in the last season was so fucking good, I was glad Veep did a similar episode.

 

Jamie had some great lines in that show too. Like this beauty:
