Since I am indeed a lazy college student, I have spent a large portion of my summer binge-watching various television shows. This includes a wide range of old and new sitcoms, comedies and crime-thrillers, basically the full spectrum of entertainment to keep me occupied during the particularly humid days in which I refuse to go outside.
After going through virtually all of the shows on my list, I decided to embark on a new journey and start the series known as Veep.
If you haven't heard of it before, Veep follows the life of the Vice President of the United States Selina Meyer, played by actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and her political journey as she tries to make her mark on the American government. The cast also features the sensational Tony Hale, Reid Scott, and various other members who assist Selina in her challenges.
As a political junkie, I think the show is absolutely brilliant. It's hilarious, it feels real, and the intricate relationships between each character entice the audience to watch every person undergo their own transformation. Veep not only appeals to those interested in politics, but can cater to every viewers' preferences in some way.
The series is filled with comedic moments that make the audience laugh. But, it also encourages viewers to be more politically aware and active, leaving us awestruck by some incredibly genius quotes from almost every actor.
1. When Selina Speaks Her Mind
Selina Meyer can be blunt and brutal sometimes, but her comments are almost always constructive.
3. When Selina Gives Her Honest Opinion on Policies
Like I said, she tells it how it is without apologies.
5. When Amy Finally Stands Up For Herself
The power of women in this series is astonishing and inspiring.
6. When Even Those in Charge Don't Know What's Going On
It's comforting to know that even government officials who work in the financial sector are just as confused as I am when it comes to economics.
8. When Mike Tries to be Comforting
At least the viewers learn the wrong ways to handle an emotional crisis.
9. When Selina Has Her Occasional, Sincerely Kind Moments
Usually followed by a sarcastic comment, but it's sweet nonetheless.
If you're interested in watching Veep, the show is available on HBO and Amazon Prime. It's time to start learning about the many tactics you can use to make someone leave you alone, the Selina Meyer way.
