TV review - Final Two Seasons of "Veep" (2018-19) ***** (warning: spoilers)

Stunning television. They went for it - oh how they did. The writers strapped a flame thrower to their backs and let rip.

Scorching, brilliant, they take on everyone - religious nuts, the slack media, gays, lesbians, Muslims, the south, the elites, sex offenders... It has a jaw droppingly good finale where Selina sells out everything - her own country, friends and the one person who genuinely loves her.

It's amazing how the show up-ends tropes... we keep expecting Amy and Dan to get together for instance and the show tackles this head on by being true to character. It is so honest and true to character it's shocking.
