Last week on HBO, “Veep” concluded its fifth season with what had to be one of the most epic finales that we’ve seen so far this year. How else do you explain the present set of circumstances. Not only did Selina lose the election vote in Congress, but she is not even a Vice-President at […]
At this particular moment in time, Selina Meyer on “Veep” may have to face reality: The odds of her being President anytime soon are slim. While she could run again in four years, that is a long time for anyone to wait, and if she obsesses over it in the interim (especially when you think […]
In the wake of the finale for “Veep” that aired on HBO Sunday night, there are obviously many questions … with one of the biggest ones being whether or not we are really supposed to take anything away from what The Eagle proclaimed about the Nevada votes at the end of the episode. These would […]
We knew that the “Veep” season 5 finale was going to be crazy … but who imagined that it was going to go precisely like this?
