I like Veep but it doesn't hold a candle to its predecessor. I'd rather have an episode of TTOI than a season of Veep. Still, this and Silicon Valley are the only comedy shows I watch.

To me it's also the mockumentary style that really works for it. VEEP feels like Shakespearean theatre compared to TTOI.

Ur Getting Fatter posted:Amy's rant was kind of bizarre considering Selina's foreign policy achievements in this season. Then again, I'm never sure if the show wants us to think that Selina is a competent politician that is kept down by her terrible personality and terrible choice of assistants, or an incompentent politican that somehow manages to stay in power despite her terrible personality and terrible choice of assistants.

In principle, if it was somehow established that draconian "owning heroin = capital punishment" laws like in Indonesia actually significantly reduced usage of hard drugs and drug-associated crime, I'd defend them on utilitarian, against libertarian, grounds. But will anybody dare to claim they do that?
