The Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led comedy, he adds, "remains a refreshingly Trump-free, Hillary-free, Bernie-free universe. It’s probably the only Washington-centric comedy on television that sees no need to partake in the actual madness because it has been so exceptional at making its own hay, sending up Beltway culture in a manner that cuts more deeply than any halfway-funny Saturday Night Live sketch or Daily Show bit.” PLUS: Veep’s new showrunner didn’t screw up the show, don’t get your hopes up for a Larry David cameo, Season 5 relieves the stress of the real-world election, and why Selina Meyer can never be veep again.
