No surprise, Louis-Dreyfus and one of the best ensemble casts of the 21st century are as sharp and fast and flat-out hilarious as they’ve ever been. This show makes me laugh out loud--even when I’m equal parts in awe and appalled by a 2019 television show with the, um, brass to feature running jokes about mass shootings and abortion.
A joyful, wild, hilarious, insane — and darker — romp through the debasement of running for political office, as only "Veep" could imagine.

Veep has always worked even when the writing/plot-lines have a seemed a little unrealistic but that's when the cast pulls through it and takes it to another level. This is one of those rare show's where literally every character has purpose and is most importantly **** hilarious ****
What began as a pretty clever political parody morphed into the most fearless comedy on the tube. A continued concert of dizzyingly brilliant acting, writing and editing that truly seeks to affect how one perceives modern geopolitics. It's finale episode may soon stand as one of the very best episodes in the medium's history as it brutally tidied up its various plot points without one false note or beat - and made you laugh...wryly.

SEASON 7
It gleefully wallows in its own world, suggesting nobody in Washington really knows what makes it tick. While Louis-Dreyfus is just as Emmy-worthy as ever, it’s Simons who rises to this season’s top.
The HBO comedy’s exceptionally devilish final season. ... More than ever, the show’s quest for laughs overlaps with a quest for offense; it sometimes seems like the show’s ticking through a list of sensitive topics to riff on.
The #MeToo movement would seem impossible to riff on, yet Veep’s gloriously inappropriate writers have found a way.
Not everything is perfect in this final season, as the series barrels towards its end with as many epitaphs as it can manage per minute, but its acknowledgement of the foibles of its leads in meta terms reminds us that this is a show that exists on its own terms.
In the first few episodes of the new season, pretty much everyone in the “Veep” cast gets a moment in which to show off the breadth of their skill, ripping into the show’s signature waterfalls of profanity with relish. ... But 7 seasons in, much of the novelty of “Veep’s” signature viciousness has worn off.

This season flanderizes some of its characters but in fairness politics themselves have become flanderized. A great first three episodes make it exciting to speculate who will win the presidential throne.

SEASON 7
Like many comedies that were once funny (ahem 99) , Veep is just repeating itself or trying to push the enveloppe so far it becomes ludicrous (the Jonah story line is not funny. it's embarrassing to think some writers came up with this kind of 3rd graders joke. Incest jokes, here we go! Next stop: zoophilia and necrophilia!).
Apart from a few zingers here or there, it just helps you chuckle whiling your time away. Young American people call it cringe, don't they?
