VEEP (HBO) TV Show • Page 8

Also can't forget about this classic Glenn:

(sorry, did not mean to change this into a TTOI quote thread)

 

Just finished 5 and am now all caught up.

This is so fucking good. It totally lived up to the hype for me. (still wish Amy Poehler had won at least one Emmy for Parks but I'm not upset with JLD getting so many anymore). Gonna be hard to watch this just weekly now.

 

Fuck

 

What happens to political satire when the real world goes mad? ‘Veep’ is about to find out.

this article is incredibly good and insightful

 

"We can't do anything about AIDS?"

"Who are you, Ronald Reagan?"

 

I love this show

 

The amount of gasp laughs per episode is just the best.

 

So glad I took this show up. Awesome premiere, and Jonah faking cancer is a great angle

 

Great preimer

 

did you ever start Veep? i'm in the same boat you were in when you originally posted this. if you started it, how do you like it?

 

Premiere was great, hope we get some scenes with more than a few of the cast in the same room at the same time though. Despite that, lots of great angles for the individual character plots, plenty of potential there.

 

watched like 3 episodes. it didn't click.

 

i'll stick with cartoons then, haha. thanks friend!

 

Loved the Dan and Jonah bits in the premiere. Also Catherine crying will always make me laugh.

Don't give up yet! What other tv comedies do you like?

 

Ones I like:
The Office, Parks and Rec, Seinfeld, Modern Family, Its Always Sunny

Ones I'm "Meh" on:
New Girl, Kimmy Schmidt

Ones I hate:
Scrubs, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother

 

I think you should try at least watching a few eps of Veep, I think you could definitely like it

 

love the fact that kent is working for jonah now

 

What a great episode. Probably the best comedy on tv.

 

I'm a massive fan of The Thick of It, and ended up watching Veep because I heard Armando Iannucci worked on it as well (it's basically his concept after all). I was pleasantly surprised how well it translated to an American setting, Iannucci clearly worked with some great American talent. Plus, it manages to maintain the same sort of style as The Thick of It. Quality! Interested to see what they're doing with it currently, I might just skip ahead a few seasons...

 

I wouldn't skip ahead to this season if you're expecting commentary on Trump.

 

Don't skip ahead! Every season is great and worth watching.

 

veep is the straight up funniest show on tv

 

I hope they can get the gang back together

 

That is inevitable.

 

The first seeds of it have already been planted. Imagine they start a PAC or something together by the end of the season? Or a lobbying firm? That'd be a good excuse to get everyone together again.
