The first season was very impressive, but in season 2, ‘Veep’ firmly establishes itself as one of the finest comedies of the 21st century. It is so well written, performed, and simply one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.
As the story continues to progress this season, the characters continue to come into their own and really show all the different layers to themselves, often revealing hilarious aspects as they go.
The whole cast, led by the superb Julia Louis-Dreyfus, are superb again, but a personal stand out for me this season is Timothy Simons as Jonah. Every time he is in a scene, he brings a real energy to the show and he is one of the funniest characters I have seen in a long time.
The show is not only skewering American politics this season, but absolutely everything and everyone, and that’s what makes it so enjoyable.
I can’t wait to get watching season 3 very soon.
Rating = 4.5/5
