Veep is incomparable in comedy. Along with fellow regular Emmy-nominee "Louie," the HBO comedy has crafted a style so unique the series itself is entirely its own beast.
There also aren’t many words left to describe why Veep keeps working as well it does.

Veep continues its winning streak with another excellent season full of razor sharp dialogue and biting satire.There is a certain charm to this show. It depicts government as being a comedy of errors, and that might be the nicest current depiction in Pop Culture. I appreciated, too, the absurdity of following the Vice President. Since Selena Meyer is now the President in Season 4, it remains to be seen how that impacts the DNA of the show.With each season Armando Ianucci and his writing staff (especially Chris Addison) discover more absurd layers of this absolutely hysterical, and at the same time, tragically painful comedy. Brilliant performances by Louis-Dreyfus (a very well deserved Emmy), Hale and Chlumsky (and all the other actors, seriously, it might be the best comedic assemble in history of dry comedy), literally bazillion jokes per minute (someone actually calculated jokes per minute ratio and S4 apparently has the most jokes per minute in any tv shows) and superb ridiculous storylines might make this season the best yet. Selina as president unveils mountains of timeless laughs, and the rapid social commentary, poking sexism and poignant political games just makes it an even better treat.

SEASON 4
Depending on the situation, Louis-Dreyfus brings various combinations of excessive zeal, profane rage, piteous desperation, and unwarranted arrogance, all of it never less than beguiling.
Veep starts with four episodes as perfectly conceived and executed as ever.
The dialogue is, as always, ribald and inspired. [10 Apr 2015, p.59]
Louis-Dreyfus is her usual Swiss-watch self, so confident that she seems to glide through her scenes.
OK, if you don’t find awkward funny, you won’t get Veep. But terrific as Louis-Dreyfus is at playing a woman seemingly incapable of embarrassment, her large supporting cast also helps establish the show’s bizarre rhythm.
