I've been a little sick and off work the past couple days and decided to watch an episode of Veep on a whim.....a couple days later I've knocked out all the seasons

where the love for this show? It's amazing. The writing is superb and I don't think there's a single character on the show that isn't hilarious and perfectly put into the show. They are batting 1.000 on supporting characters and JLD is smokin and hilarious. Tony hale is amazing, and then you add in the 20 or so characters that are all intertwined beautifully, Jonad is always a hilarious storyline

They had me sold on the show at "Jolly Green Jizz face"

But again I never hear anything about this show, and it's mid season right now, da frick?

Great show. I haven't seen any of the newest season yet but will knock them out this weekend.

Check out the film "In the Loop." Same creator, direction, and humor with a handful of the same actors.

Watch In the Loop (movie) and The Thick of It. British series that Veep stole the idea from.

I've watched a few seasons and like it. I've got HBO Now so I will probably get around to watching the whole series.

I didn't realize it was the same creator for both.

The one thing sorely lacking on the US version is a Malcolm Tucker.

Veep is really funny. I watch it "in the background" when I'm doing stuff, so I miss a lot of good one liners. I need to restart it. But it's really incredible.

It's deffintly got that way of connecting little things into a big overall thing way later and making it hilarious that is an AD specialty

In the Thick of It is on Hulu. Not sure if it is on standard or just Hulu Plus.

Veep is hilarious. I think it is criminally underrated on here. The acting/chemistry is as good as it gets. The argument can certainly be made that its best comedy on TV right now.

I love Silicon Valley but Veep is more in line with Arrested Development & Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I really need to watch that show. I've seen episodes here and there and laughed my arse off. And I like The Thick of It.

I watch it because I think it's pretty good, but I don't find it as funny as I used to.

The first couple of seasons were amazing. It's not quite as good as it use to, but still a worthwhile fun 30 min.

Might be because I binged the show, but I haven't noticed any decline in the quality of the show

Love it. One of the funniest shows on TV right now. The episode with her mom dying a few weeks ago was incredible.
