Veep

Post by daft twat »

This show is peaking right now. JLD is the star, but this is a true ensemble cast show. Every character is getting great lines. I know Girls is the critical darling, and I like it just fine, but if a comedy's goal is being consistently funny, Veep is fucking killing it.

JLD and "My Girl" Anna look real good too.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was a bit worried with the change in the creative team but season 5 has been awesome so far.

For goddam real. When Selena told that woman she'd have the irs so far up her husband's ass he'd hope all they find is more cancer, I was short of breath.

Might be the best ensemble cast ever formed. The depth is unreal.

That whole scene was terrific. I want a whole season of Jonah running for Congress.

That Finnish Prime Minister is one of my favorite recurring characters. She was great in last night's episode.
