The rapid-fire, acid-tongued dialogue hasn’t changed, nor has the almost unfathomable ratio of zingers per minute. The show’s premise following Meyer as a bumbling, social-climbing lightweight of a politician, and it has evolved its storyline to the point where Meyer has stumbled her way into occupancy of the Oval Office as the President.

Veep can still contribute something of value to a pop-culture landscape in which noxious reality has finally out-crazied fictional satire: A much, much better class of insults.April 21, 2016
Hilarious, as always, and unexpectedly, maybe an instructional guide to the current political landscape.May 03, 2016
The familiar cast of gargoyles have retained an obsession with the rectal that reeks of the 18th century, but also of the production line: jokes manufactured with machine-tooled efficiency.April 22, 2016
I'm not willing to say that Veep is as "funny as it's ever been" but it's still much funnier than most things on TV.September 27, 2016
Veep and its scathing-but-smart take on Washington politics just makes me laugh for a half hour, and I don't feel dumb doing it.April 22, 2016
What Veep nails - and what never gets dated - is the raging hostility at the core of it all. So here's to four more years of President Selina: Make America hateful again.April 22, 2016
While Veep may have been on firmer ground when Selina was being abused by power rather than abusing it, Louis-Dreyfus still glows with brazen contempt for political or even polite convention and is almost endearing when Selena invariably stumbles.April 22, 2016
Every year, it has seemed like Veep wouldn't be able to top itself, but the innovative and unrelenting comedy just kept doing it anyway, every year, without fail.April 22, 2016
Bless Veep... for offering an escapist respite from the daily skirmishes of the campaign, while heaping pitiless, justified scorn on the people who are content to let our broken system stay broken.
