During the extra time at home provided by the lockdown, I have been using it to watch some shows I hadn’t previously got around to watching before, and the one that has been the stand out, is ‘Veep’.
It is the most genuinely laugh out loud funny, controversial, offensive, and brilliant written comedy I have seen for years, and as I have the urge to binge the whole thing, I have been taking it slow so I can try and appreciate it more.
Following the game changing end to Season 5, this season was always going to feel different to the previous seasons, and it certainly does. Season 6 suffers from a lack of urgent direction in the story, and not having all the great characters together means something will always be missing.
However, it still remains one of the funniest shows on TV and the performance of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Timothy Simons, and the rest of the cast, continue to amaze, and a flashback episode in the finale providing some of the show’s funniest ever moments.
Rating = 3.5/5
