"Politics is about people," former Sen. Selina Meyer is fond of saying. Unfortunately, the people Meyer, a charismatic leader and rising star in her party, meets after becoming vice president are nothing like she expected, but everything she was warned about. "Veep" follows the VP as she puts out political fires, juggles her public schedule and private life, and does everything within her limited powers to improve her dysfunctional relationship with the chief executive. Meyer's trusted -- and some not-so-trusted -- sidekicks include chief of staff Amy, one-time spokesperson Mike, and right-hand man Gary.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

In Veep's second season, the satire is sharper, the insights are deeper, the tone is more consistent, and the result is a comedy of unexpected heft.

Katy Kroll Rolling Stone But the show isn't just about the VP; there's a great supporting cast that has grown to rival The Office ensemble in its heyday. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Robert David Sullivan AV Club Louis-Dreyfus continues to make Selina more interesting than the shallow, narcissistic character that Veep could have ended up with. Rated: B+ Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker This season is so much more effective that it's practically a master class in how tweaks can transform a series. Jun 12, 2018 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 'Midterms' is like a big, warm, worn-in Welcome mat, reintegrating us into the world of the show by making note of the many changes, but making sure it all still feels familiar to us. Rated: B+ Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Eric Goldman IGN Movies The show wrapped up a very strong second season with a typically funny episode that also, surprisingly, actually changed the overall storyline for the show in a notable way going forward. Rated: 8.8/10 Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Tom Gliatto People Magazine ouis-Dreyfus's performance - which, like Congress, can be divided into two houses, Crackling Charm and Hysterical Ego-still drives the show, but we're getting a more realistic sense of political gamesmanship.

Audience Member Um. Veep is HYSTERICAL. I love everyone in the cast (though each character is completely horrible in their own way), and the writing is genius. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dave d Really solid farce that's probably closer to reality than we want to know! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member God that was a lot better! Veep's second season sees the writing razor-sharp, the humour wittily raunchy, and the satire stone cold --- anchored by a lovable group of conniving Jonads. Iroh's grade: B Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Tony Hale, he makes the show. Runners up JLD and Matt Walsh Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The show is definitely better in the 2nd season. The writing seems tighter, and the follow-through from episode to episode on previous story threads is more clear. However, the writers/producers ... whoever is responsible for the crassness of the show ... clearly shows that the powers behind the show are definitely out of touch with normal, average Americans. (But then, there are constant jokes on the show about hicks outside DC ... so....) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member An all-around improved sophomore year, and no argument with this: Veep has the most creative use of profanity on television!
