OK, But I don't like watching good guy/ bad guy shows. I prefer Breaking Bad, House of Cards, the Shield, the Sopranos. And I definitely don't want  something like  West Wing, where the President is an all-knowing wise character who is constantly preaching to those less informed world.

Yes the political parties in the US are organized from the bottom- up unlike the top- down style of the Brits.  I don't agree with the remainder of your comment.

I was not unaware of this show before the AVClub reported on it, so thanks for that. It's well-done and I expect to be following it on LinkTV.  Sidse Babett Knudsen is lovely to look at and a very engaging actress. ( I plan to re-watch "After the Wedding" soon.)

What's wrong with that Jay See? If people liked the show, they like to hear the lines again.

The writing in Veep is equally as good, or perhaps better, than the Thick of it. He's dealing with very different political systems. I'm not sure that anyone in the US could be as all powerful as Malcolm Tucker. In any event, he decided to put the focus on Selina and that changed the show (maybe slightly for the…

Hardly overrated.

The kids who pretend to like the pathetic Girls seem to feel the need to defend that junk in any context. If Whitney is garbage (I haven't seen it), it hardly matters whether another show by a woman is slightly less terrible.

Yeah. With three of the main characters were facing imminent death, I would agree that Soap tops the series ending cliffhangers list.

Cheap stake. I want the 512 oz drink!

"Veep shows no sign of becoming The West Wing or M*A*S*H."   
I agree. It does seem that  Iannucci has always had enough integrity not to turn his shows into a political soapbox.  Let's hope it continues.

Outstanding show. It depends on whether you like political intrigue. I do, but McGee doesn't.. I;m looking forward to the next season. when Frank becomes President. And then will…..

It occurred to me that probably the most well-known film with one actor playing multiple parts is Alec Guinness in  Kind Hearts and Coronets, where he plays eight parts. She may ended up exceeding that, although needless to say, that would not, in itself, put her at Sir Alec's level.

As Sarah, et al, Tatiana Maslany has landed an actor's dream role with this show. She's getting to play some many different characters that she'll have experience for almost any role that comes up in the future.  And will help that she's handled the challenge of playing the different characters so well.

Ryans's write-ups of HoCs are largely disorganized, mostly stream of consciousness shit. His write-us add nothing (he writes about his own feelings a lot,)
Apart from Ryans's inability to write,and his silly grades,  Todd gave HoC a B-. And now with an F, for what may be a C show, AV Cub has also written about…

Yes, the arguments are so similar, plus the use of Article Two, would make it highly likely that it was intentional to connect to the Second Amendment.

This seems to be more of the AV Club bias against Netflix. House of Cards is outstanding and yet we get nonsensical write-ups by Ryan McGee, I've watched two episodes of this, and while it's not my cup of tea, its hardly an F. I guess Zach is just following orders.

The Pawnee charter is played it for laughs. However, the founding fathers of the US were any incredible bunch; they were trying to set up a country from scratch and wrote a brilliant constitution. They did set up a system to permit changes to the constitution, which has happened many times.

The arguments about the viability of Article Two of the Charter seemed reminiscent of those (which appear all over the Internet) concerning the Second Amendment, (I hope no one takes this post as an opportunity to rehash Second Amendment arguments here.)

Yes. "Be careful what you wish for" could be the tagline for this episode.

Would you like to explain why the show doesn't understand the American political system and how you think McGee understands it (or anything else for that matter)? See my post below explaining the BBC version and this one.
