Review
David Brown
Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is excellent as Selina Meyer – an out-of-her-depth Vice President (“Veep”) negotiating the spineless world of White House politics. The supporting cast of aides and advisers includes manchild Jonah (Timothy Simons) and neurotic, devoted Gary (Tony Hale).
It’s tempting to think of Armando Iannucci’s Veep as little more than The Thick of It: USA, but since it hit our screens in 2012 it has evolved into much more than that. Cynical and irreverent, Veep draws on The Thick of It’s political calamity and sweary wordplay, but has forged a charm of its own.
