Ep 152: Returning to “VEEP” (HBO, 2019) for the 2024 Election

from Midday Movies · host Laura Fones and Stephen Frothingham

Today we’re sharing our impressions of the critically-acclaimed 2010s HBO comedy, “VEEP” (2012-2019). Starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and increasingly relevant as our own US election year starts to take on that show’s plot dimensions, this workplace sitcom of Capital Hill satirizes the uniquely strange and idiosyncratic personalities that are drawn to political power. Never stating party identities, never showing the character of the president, and never concretely solving a problem are just a few brilliant choices that make “VEEP” the well-loved show on everyone’s watchlist this election cycle.
