Veep: Season 2

Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns for a second season in her role as Vice President Selina Meyer in Veep, the hilarious political comedy created by Armando Iannucci. As midterm elections loom, Vice President Meyer is scoring higher ratings than the president in several popularity polls, which she hopes will boost her influence and help her carry favour with the chief executive. But despite her best intentions, even the most banal actions can set off unexpected and often disastrous consequences. Her staff, an ensemble cast The Washington Post calls "terrific", including Tony Hale), Anna Chlumsky, Matt Walsh, Reid Scott, Timothy Simons and Sufe Bradshaw, is close at hand with a laugh-out-loud combination of personal problems and government-insider antics.
