Anyone else watching this? I adore Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but I got halfway through the first episode and had to leave the room, I found it so annoying.  |

I liked the first episode, but I found it hard to keep up because I don't know a lot about politics. The fast pace was great - it was a joke machine! Love seeing Tony Hale. I feel like the concept could get stale before too long, though.

I liked both episodes but thought the second was funnier. It is still a little rough but I think it has good potential. Out of all of HBO's female "dramedies" (this, Girls, Enlightened), it is the only one I can see watching on a regular basis.

We've watched all season and decided this is must-see TV for us. If you enjoy politics and Larry David, this is a hoot.
At first, I thought it might be "female veep as ditz" and I wasn't all that interested, but a few episodes in, they sold me. Reid Scott nails the young self-important up and comer who would burn an American flag on live TV if he thought it would get him ahead.

It was slow-going, but I'm enjoying it more and more.
And anyone remember the McCauly Culkin movie 'My Girl'? THe girl from that movie is the Veep's right-hand gal.

I love Tony Hale in this, especially the scene where he whispers "You're very very pregnant" in her ear.

Last time I saw a picture of her she was kind of akward-looking, but she grew up nicely. I loved the My Girl movies (that's right, even the sequel). Love Veep as well, funniest show on tv at the moment. |

She is great on the show. The whole cast is hilarious. This show really grew on me. I love how deeply cynical it is. I think my favorite bit was from the pilot after Selina makes a stupid comment Mike tries to cheer her up by telling her that maybe Tom Hanks will die and be a bigger news story than her. Just everybody's reactions were perfect.

I really, really love this show. JLD is perfect, and I just have giant anime heart eyes every time Tony Hale is on the screen.
