  Something I really love about Veep is that it breaks away from a lot of mockumentary office job sitcoms.  The Office has people working menial jobs where no one really works but for the most part the business is fine.  In Veep, everyone works incredibly hard to ultimately accomplish nothing.  The status quo is something that is so delicate that it takes a ton of effort to maintain

  Great line from producers on what changed from the show premiering: "When we started, it was shocking to imagine a sitting politician talking like this behind closed doors. Today, we have them doing it in open press conferences."

  Working on a campaign, we joked that politics is 5% West Wing, 5% House of Cards, and 90% Veep.

  I think one key thing about the end of Veep is that while it was quite cynical, it also ends with Splett shown to be the current - very beloved and successful - president. Maybe it was the writers expressing the hope that, despite the very dark political times they were witnessing, they could still see hope for something better in the future.

  actually, there is one "wide-eyed do-gooder" and his name is Richard Splett and he's the best character on the show <3

  This was literally perfectly timed.<br><br>There was an Axios article this morning about how some members of Kamala Harris&apos;s staff haven&apos;t been CCed in Biden staff or Biden emails for 3 and a half years.<br><br>All I thought was, wait isn&apos;t that like how on Veep, Selina and staff are always asking Sue if the president said anything and she&apos;s always, nope!<br><br>God what a show. &nbsp;I&apos;ll always remember Tall McCartney above all. &nbsp;The cloud botherer himself.

  The fact that Mikes mustache dye running was BEFORE Giuliani is insane! <br><br>This show has stuck with me in a way no other show has. I’ve only seen it once and I want to rewatch it, but the ending was amazing. Such a well done show.

  when Matt Gaetz first became a thing on my radar (hate that btw) my first thought was &quot;oh my god, he&apos;s Jonah&quot;.
